For Scheme you could, but I've already done it and it will soon (within 
a  week) be integrated into DrScheme.  Once I get it integrated I'll 
make some docs so you can add a Python coloring mode.

Yes it is syntax-color that's doing it and no, it doesn't operate on 
syntax-objects it operates lexically.  This means that macro calls and 
function calls are not distinguished.  It also means that comments are.
