Well dumb editors use syntax highlighting also... specifically the ones that default to bright (attention grabbing!) colors for comments and/or docstrings... like the color RED! Gawd i hate that! Never should a comment be a bright color, and RED is the worst choice of all! Grey for comments, orange for keywords, purple for builtins, and green for strings is pure bliss. Save red for scary things like global variables and such. That way you know where the hemorrhaging is coming from! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
