self isn't highlighted in classes about python-syntax HOT 6 OPEN

This has been fixed over at the fork vim-python/python-syntax.

from python-syntax.

This module implements the self and cls highlighting, which is a good feature.
Plus, it can be deactivated using a dedicated option.

Maybe you will found a compromise here.

self is actually just a conventional name for the first argument of a method. And if somebody uses for example just s instead it won't be highlighted and just will be confusing.

Precisely because its conventionnal (and a convention widely accepted), allowing it to be highlighted is a good feature. From experience, it's very appreciable.
Using s leads to confusing code, more than any highlighting.

But that's probably involve actually parsing file or something and is harder (or impossible) to do with regexp.

I think its impossible in vim. Needs a static code checker. Jedi could help, but it seems to be a little over-engineered.

python-mode also highlights self/cls and maps it to the highlight group pythonSelf. You could make it optional via a config variable.

@sscherfke I don't use python mode, because I don't like its take it all or leave it approach. I think that that it should be the set of instructions or a script or something else, but not the bunch of packages, that you can't remove if you don't need them.
If anyone interested in highlighting self, cls, default arguments and other improvements check out my fork of this project.

@purpleP Curretnly moving away from python-mode and missing the highlighted selfand cls … ;-)
