Yes, codecrusader has no user-defined language coloring.  All hardcoded
in C++.  It seems more like a integrated development environment(IDE),
than an editor with macro support and keyboard playback.

Crisp has it.  A python mode already defined, though you can define your
own in a few minutes.  If you are trying Crisp, go to Options/Buffer,
and choose python as your colorizer.  Colorizers are defined in keyword
