nedit patterns for Python 3?

[Bert Wesarg]

Cc'd the NEdit discussion list.

Hello. As you may know, a new version of the Python language
has just come out (version 3), and it's not backward compatible.
Do you know of any plans to update the python.pats file defining
syntax highlighting for nedit?

No.

If not, it looks like the preferred way to modify or maintain
that file is by using a higher-level definition, and generating
the python.pats file.  Would you have that higher-level
definition, and could you describe how to generate the
python.pats file from it?

You may find more infos here:

I would ask the original creator of that file,
doesn't seem to be valid any longer.

A quick search in the nedit mail archive reveals this (last message

The utility I wrote to generate the patterns can be found here:

I have been thinking about updating the Python patterns to 3.x, but I
didn't get to it yet.

If you have list of changes wrt. to 2.x, it wouldn't take me too much
time to adapt the pattern set.
