I put in a ticket for it: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=156228. It is the actual decoration (e.g. @foobar) that is getting highlighted incorrectly. Some characters in the decorator are being bolded, some are not.

E-mails to the alias from non-subscribers usually go to the moderator queue, but I haven't seen it so I've contacted the infrastructure owners to see what is going on with the moderator queue (we recently switched over from a different e-mail alias setup). In the meantime - since you mentioned decorators: Was your problem that the semantic highlighting of function names get messed up when there are Python decorators present? If so - I've been aware of (and just now fixed, upcoming build 520) that problem. If there is something else, can you paste in your e-mail here in the meantime until the alias issue is resolved? -- Tor Hi Jeff,

Dark color themes. I had forgotten about those. I've gone and fixed those now such that out of the box, the 2 bundled dark color themes should look good for Python (e.g. already have appropriate colors for mark occurrences, as well as the code coverage highlights etc). This is in build #4704 and later from http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/trunk/ . Ah. Dark color themes. I had forgotten about those.

Specifically, when I choose a color scheme using a dark background, I need to change the `mark-occurrences` label to a darker background color, since by default is khaki, and white text is hard to read on it. This change is not saved between sessions. The color settings for python-specific tokens do not persist after closing the IDE.

The unused detector is more configurable now; for example, you can set it to ignore unused tuple values in assignments (since you often don't have a choice but to specify something there), as well as some other things. Similarly, the name rule hint is also much more flexible. There are various other new features too (such as code coverage - see <a href="http://blogs.sun.com/tor/entry/netbeans_screenshot_of_the_week6" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.sun.com/tor/entry/netbeans_screenshot_of_the_week6</a> ) and a new test runner, so if you're using the Python functionality you'll probably want the new bits. I'm not sure what you mean by the color settings / custom profile issue... For reporting bugs, the best place is the NetBeans issue tracker - e.g. file <a href="http://scripting.netbeans.org/issues/enter_bug.cgi?component=python&issue_type=DEFECT" rel="nofollow">here</a> - but that registers a (free) login etc. You can also write to our mail alias - nbpython-dev@netbeans.org .

By convention, an underscore is used to assign a throw-away value when necessary. For example, when only the tail of a tuple is needed: _, a, b = (1, 2, 3) In this case, the underscore is identified as an unused variable in netbeans. Also, Tor, is there some better place I should use to report bugs? Found another small issue. By convention, an underscore is used to assign a throw-away value when necessary.
