Now, how did I know you were going to want to do that?  From
python-mode.el (for font-locking):

     ;; pseudo-keywords
     '("\\b\\(self\\|None\\|True\\|False\\|Ellipsis\\)\\b"

I swear I filled the time machine's tank when I was done with it.

+1 BTW.

Ellipsis then?  It's probably used /much/ less than None, but still.
