Well, duh. Opening it in anything that can't color-code will not
color-code the source.

That's why we have visual tools to handle that for you. The general
rule in Python, and one that I think should be standard in all
development, is that you are treated as an adult and are expected to
be responsible for your own actions, rather than trying to constantly
erect barriers to eliminate any possibility of making a mistake. Sure,
you can mess up XML, but you can also easily mess up source code if
you don't know what you're doing.
