[Python-ideas] Differentiate variables form everything else

Inability to visually identify a variable without looking at where its placed and/or how its used is sometimes brain damaging task when it comes to understanding code someone else wrote. In fact, i dont know any IDE that can identify python or any language variable and color them as good as Autoit version of Scite does. In Autoit, variables are prefixed with $ sign. You look at the code and you instantly know ITS A VARIABLE and it cannot be anything else. Many people search google wanting to use $ sign for variables and it is mentioned to be "not best practice". Who says "not best practice" ? If it works and works well, i see no reason to not take advantage of every great benefit it provides.
