First of all, I am sincerely sorry if this is wrong mailing list to ask this question. I checked out definitions of couple other mailing list, and this one seemed most suitable. Here is my question:
In principle, python-list would be more appropriate, but this really is a border case. So welcome!
Let's say I want to change a single keyword, let's say import keyword, to be spelled as something else, like it's translation to my language. I guess it would be more complicated than modifiying Grammar/Grammar, but I can't be sure which files should get edited.
Hmm. I also think editing Grammar/Grammar should be sufficient. Try restricting yourself to ASCII keywords first; this just worked fine for me.
Of course, if you change a single keyword, none of the existing Python code will work anymore. See for yourself by changing 'def' to 'fed' (say).
Regards, Martin
