Detailed Description

This class is a helper object to attach to a QTextEdit to add Python syntax highlighting to the text that is displayed.

The pygments python module is used to generate syntax highlighting. Since mixing tabs and spaces is an error for python's indentation, tabs are highlighted in red.

The QTextEdit is set up so that it uses a fixed-width font and tabs are the width of 4 spaces by the constructor.

This will also optionally capture presses of the tab key that would go to the QTextEdit and insert 4 spaces instead of the tab. This option is enabled by default.
