John ....
Thanks for posting your solution to Dave McCormick's query
about colorizing text ....
I was not familiar with the re.finditer method
for searching strings or with using tags in
Tkinter Text widgets to change text attributes ....
Instead of binding the Text widget to <KeyRelease> events
to call the colorizer on each key-stroke, I used a button
callback ....
http://cl1p.net/cs_static_text_color
This provides a static one-shot colorization after all
of the text is entered and should save a few cpu cycles
although it's not as nifty as the dynamic process ....
I used a dictionary instead of a list for position data
and also added a { term : color } dictionary so that
words other than color names can be hi-lighted ....
