Python Syntax Highlighting Module

[frikker]

Hello,
I have an idea for a project which involves an editor that supports
syntax highlighting. This would be for any language, particularly php,
html, css, etc. I would like to write this program using python. It
would only make sense to base this upon existing open source code. My
question is there a python module or examples on how to write a code
editor which supports modulated syntax highlighting?

Thank you,
Blaine

thank you! These will be very helpful.

I'm not necessarily creating an editor from scratch, but maybe an
editor that has some additional custom functionality.

Thanks again,

If I were to start a GUI editor project, I'd undoubtedly start by
looking at Scintilla:
