"""Module to analyze Python source code; for syntax coloring tools.

Interface:
	tags = fontify(pytext, searchfrom, searchto)

The 'pytext' argument is a string containing Python source code.
The (optional) arguments 'searchfrom' and 'searchto' may contain a slice in pytext. 
The returned value is a list of tuples, formatted like this:
	[('keyword', 0, 6, None), ('keyword', 11, 17, None), ('comment', 23, 53, None), etc. ]
The tuple contents are always like this:
	(tag, startindex, endindex, sublist)
tag is one of 'keyword', 'string', 'comment' or 'identifier'
sublist is not used, hence always None.
