#998 8 Python Keyword Styles

[Metallicow]

Need more keyword styles for python to be able to make custom lexers for
various libraries.
Ex: wxPython, PySide, PyQT, etc...
Currently WORD and WORD2 exist for python.

WORD - WORD8 would be great.
I noticed Lua and some other languages have 8 keyword styles.

why no love for python...?

If anyone wants to implement this, the substyles provisional feature should be used.

It's been a year now. Has there been any progress or implementations on this?
It really would be a helpful addition overall for many things.

[Neil Hodgson]

There will not be any progress on this until someone volunteers to work on it.

[Metallicow]

Ok. Thanks for clarifying. I'll try and see if I can't drum up some extra support/helpers for this.

Sub-styles were implemented in the Python lexer with release 3.6.0.
