Emacs: highlighting "self" tweak

[Preston Landers]

Hello,

This is what I did to highlight 'self' in my Python files.

It's a small (unified context) patch against python-mode.el version
3.90, the lastest as far as I know.  It shouldn't be too hard to patch
it against older versions of python-mode (you only need to insert 3
lines at a certain spot.)

I wish I knew of an easy way to make it a hook instead of a patch.  If
someone can figure that out, I would *love* to hear from you.

I decided to make it color 'self' as a type (same color as classes),
because that's the best I could think of.

If this patch comes across mangled or whatever, you can always pick
it up at my Python page:

http://askpreston.com/projects/python/

You can also find my silly little Emacs/Python shortcut hook there.

cheers,

---Preston
