why is this failing?

    John> You wouldn't happen to know how to do this for python-mode?

The attached patch for python-mode colors the 2.3 builtins like keywords.
(Maybe they should be a different color, but I'm lazy.)  Note that I
included the specials __debug__, __doc__, __import__ and __name__.  That was
initially an oversight, but upon a nanosecond's worth of reflection I
decided that leaving them colored isn't obviously a bad idea.  You can just
delete them from the kw3 list if you don't agree.
