Python and SlickEdit

[Python Addict]

The SlickEdit people have been less than forthcoming in building support for
Python (and aren't really intrerested in anything but supporting Java, Perl
or C/C++ it seems). I've been hounding them for about a year for decent
Python support and finally gave up.

Supposedly the latest 4.0 patch will deal with triple quotes and single
quotes correctly but I haven't gotten around to installing it -- I've been
using VIM. With 4.0 up to the 'b' revision, when you try to define a color
extension map, it'll accept """ but then lock up if you go back to edit it.
You can edit the config text files by hand to remove it but it's a royal
pain.

The request for colorization and syntax support was met with a "build your
own, it's easy!" and canned instructions. If it's that easy, SlickEdit
should bloody well do it.

Bollocks to them, I say. I'll save my $59 yearly renewal money and send half
to Guido and half to the VIM folks :-)
