nano syntax coloring for Python

I didn't know it, but nano does syntax coloring with regular expressions. That's wonderful, regular expressions excused.

This is in progress; I'll be updating it when I get it fully complete.

syntax "python" "\.py$" color red "[\[\](){}:]" color brightblue "\<__dict__\>" ... color green "#.*" color cyan "([\"']).*?[^\]\1" # this is kludge to avoid the line for the example C syntax marked "this is wasteful" color cyan "\"\"" "''" color cyan start="\"\"\"" end="\"\"\""
