I recommend the python syntax file add highlighting

Why?
There is nothing special about the word "self".
It is *not* a Python keyword.
You could call that parameter "this" if you wanted.
Use of "self" is just a common established practice, but it is not a part
of the language syntax specification.
If you prefer to have it highlighted you can always make your own
customized file.

Hello Zvezdan,
My opinion is that syntax highlighting is not only for keyword. You may
notice that in C language "NULL" is not a keyword, it has been colored.
NULL is defined in C standard header files (stdlib.h and stddef.h).
'self' on the other hand is merely a coding convention in Python
so I don't think it should be highlighted by default.

Hello,
Syntax highlighting is aimed at convenience, not for the form. If this
is a coding convention,
then "self" should be highlighted. Or maybe it is better to add an
option to turn this on and off.
