Hi
I am a IDEA user for a long time now, using it to manage our Java projects. Today I installed the Python plugin (on IDEA 8.1), and it seems to be performing as expected, except for one big thing: the editor seems to not recognize python syntax. The .py files themselves seem to be being recognized, as the project view show the tree of files as being valid Python source files. But as I bring a source file into the editor, no keywords or other language specifics highlight in the window. The text shows in plain black-and-white. Also, code completion and type ahead are not working at all. It is as if the editor thinks the .py file is just a plain text file, despite the fact the .py type is properly set in the file types list of recognized types.
Do you know of any hidden setting that could be causing this behavior? I would hate to give up on IDEA as my Python IDE, since it is so good when working in Java, and I belive much of that hability is already in the plugin.
