[TxMt] Serious bug with Python syntax highlighting

[Rob Shearer]

This is a known issue, is in the bug database (several times), and  
has been fixed in the latest version of the Python bundle. Update  
from subversion and the issue will go away.

(There are much much simpler examples that cause this to happen...)

I've got to say that if there's one "feature" I want in 2.0 it's an  
architecture that doesn't allow bundle bugs to hang the whole app,  
potentially losing any unsaved work.
