I found the following python.vim file:

syn match   pythonSpecialCharacter      "\['"?\abfnrtv]" contained
syn match   pythonSpecialCharacter      "\(0x)=[0123456789]{1,3}" 
contained
hi link pythonSpecialCharacter        pythonFormat
syn match   pythonFormat                contained "%%"
syn match   pythonFormat                "%(d+$)=[-+' #0*]
*(d*|*|*d+$)(.(d*|*|*d+$))=([hlL]|ll)
=([diuoxXfeEgGcCsSpn]|[^=.[^]]*])" contained
syn match   pythonFormat                "%([^)]+)(d+(.d+)=)=
[sdf]" contained
syn region  pythonString		start=+'+  end=+'+ skip=+\\|\'+ 
contains=pythonFormat,pythonSpecialCharacter
syn region  pythonString		start=+"+  end=+"+ skip=+\\|\"+ 
contains=pythonFormat,pythonSpecialCharacter
syn region  pythonString		start=+"""+  end=+"""+ 
contains=pythonFormat,pythonSpecialCharacter
syn region  pythonString		start=+'''+  end=+'''+ 
contains=pythonFormat,pythonSpecialCharacter

and would like to implement it in gvim under windows. I cannot find any 
documentation on turning on syntax highligting. Can anyone point to a good 
howto?
