If properly installed and working, IDLE does syntax highliting if and 
only if you name the file with a .py, .pyw, .pyo extension. I have a 
'play around' directory with a tem.py file that is always in the recent 
files lists. I use it for short shippets that are two long to directly 
type into the shell.
