Thanks. But the only list I see in the Python lexer is the list of
actual Python keywords. I assume method and function names are read
from the API file.

But what if I want to add additional words to highlight that are not
keywords? The two examples I gave, for instance, are 'self' and
exception names, neither of which are keywords and both of which I'd
like to highlight differently than keywords. So is there a way for me
to define new lists of words, such as one for exceptions?

Thanks,
John

The .properties files for a given lexer will have one or more keyword
lists.  All of the words in a particular list will [usually] be
colored similarly.

So you can

1) add words to a keyword list in a lexer's .properties file

2) change the "coloring" of all the words in a keyword list
