I am going to edit the original question for clarity. Everything in
[square brackets] are my edits. Please correct me if I have misunderstood
anything.
This is a very interesting question. It raises possibilities that I never
considered before.

A great question! I never considered patching the tables as you suggest,
but this definitely is possible.
The keys in the python_main_keywords_dict must be strings, not regular
expressions. However, it definitely would be possible to add entries to
the rules dict:
# Rules dict for python_main ruleset.
rulesDict1 = {
...
}
The keys are lead-in-characters, the values are rules.
As you can see, python_rule21 handles all python identifiers. You could
add a new rule, say python_zoom_rule1, to all the entries in rulesDict1
that contain python_rule_21 as a value.
Here is tested code:
import leo.modes.python as py
def python_zoom_rule1(self, s, i):
'''See jedit.match_keywords for a template.'''
g.trace(i, repr(s[i:]))
return 0 # Fail
d = py.rulesDict1
for key, val in d.items():
print('key', repr(val))
if val and py.python_rule21 in val:
val.insert(0, python_zoom_rule1)
d[key] = val
g.printList(d)
This does patch the tables correctly, but it doesn't look like the
colorizer ever executes python_zoom_rule1. This is likely due to caching in
Leo's colorizer.
I have to go now, but I'm pretty sure that the patches can be made to
work. I have created #613
<https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/613> to discuss this topic.
