Python source code is a plain text file, which has no colors.  The 
colors are used by your Python Shell only for displaying to the screen.

When Python Shell reloads Python source, it presumably reparses the text 
and shows it with colors.  My guess is that by naming the file without a 
.py extension, you convinced Python Shell that it was NOT source code, 
and therefore shouldn't be colorized.
