2 Python Questions
Author
I don't know Python all that well (just finished 2 books on it though) and I'm wonderring if its possible to have a "here document".
Does anyone know of a Python source editor for windows, that allows the user to change the syntax highlight feature.
(My aim is to put C code inside the hear document or the """ <text> """ delimeter).

Don't know about your first question, but I use PSPad for any language Visual Studio doesn't support. It allows you to define your own highlighting really easy.
There's always Vim. OK, so there's a learning curve, but it's the only editor you'll ever need. After a little practice, you'll cut your editing times in half as well. I can work twice as fast in Vim as I can in simpler IDE-style editors. Combined with ctags and some filesystem tree browser scripts (and its built in makefile support) and it's a pretty comfortable IDE. Of course I have no idea how to set all this up on Windows :P

Actually are you saying that VIM will highlight an embedded language, or easily switch from one language to another mid stream...in one source file. What I want is to somehow embed C in Python.
I can get VI to work on a windows box -- MinGW and Cygwin work.

PS. Still need to know if there is a here document syntax for Python, if anyone knows.

Oh, maybe not that, at least without editing the syntax files.

There is native Vim for Windows. You can get it on Vim.org

I don't understand the question as you used the answer to your question in your question. """ text """ is a heredoc in Python. I can span as many lines as you want, and contain any text except """.

In Python, triple quotes (double or single) is heredoc. Like this:

Personally, I like Emacs.

Why? Also, are you asking for something which does C-style syntax highlighting in the heredocs, but Python-style everywhere else? I doubt you'll be able to get that, at least not easily.

Sorry, I didn't realize that the """ was a here doc. I'm sort of new to Python, and I don't have a good syntax highlighter, because I'm trying to do as I said embed C in Python... and yes Python highlighted everywhere except in the here doc which will be C.
Actually another question would be can Python be instructed to generate another attribute (similar to __doc__ ) to every module, or class, or method, etc.?
That is really my aim here, to assign the embedded C to an attribute of the Python module.
Any comments welcome,
