Though X/Emacs is popular within the Unix community, it's hardly the only
editor that attempts to colorize Python code:

In fact, given the increased use of Python on Windows these days I'm
skeptical it's the most widely used editor for Python code.

(Not breaking etags/ctags is also a nice-to-have.)
