"""Module to analyze Python source code; for syntax coloring tools. Interface: tags = fontify(pytext, searchfrom, searchto) The 'pytext' argument is a string containing Python source code. The (optional) arguments 'searchfrom' and 'searchto' may contain a slice in pytext. The returned value is a list of tuples, formatted like this: [('keyword', 0, 6, None), ('keyword', 11, 17, None), ('comment', 23, 53, None), etc. ] The tuple contents are always like this: (tag, startindex, endindex, sublist) tag is one of 'keyword', 'string', 'comment' or 'identifier' sublist is not used, hence always None.
