      In python, all function must be called in this way: func(a=3, b=2) or test.func(a=3, b=2)
      Apparently, any words before a “( )” is a function.

      How can I let notepad++ to highlight a function in Python?

        I assume you are referring to the function call, not the function definition, correct?
        If so, short answer - you can’t if you use the builtin lexer.

        The only way to make this happen is to write your own python lexer or use an plugin
        like ScintilluaPlusPlus or python script plugin together with pygments module.

        Cheers

          You could use the Mark feature along with a regular expression that would highlight these function calls, but it wouldn’t be automatic…meaning that you would have to “refresh” it occasionally…
