tuple unpacking highlighted incorrectly

please tell what you get and what's wanted instead

On my emacs, the left hand side is highlighted as yellow (I'm not sure what face this is) while every other identifier is black.

maybe try this little tool:

(defun ar-face-atpt ()
   "Report and return face at point. "
   (interactive)
   (let ((erg (get-char-property (point) 'face)))
     (when (interactive-p) (message "%s" erg))
     erg))

don't get it see picture attached.

BTW can't find any string "yellow" in python-mode.el

Here's a screenshot.

Benjamin, are you on r907? (current head as of this writing). Your example
highlights correctly for me now.

It's still happening. It looks like the names in the tuple assignment have "font-lock-variable-name-face" and those outside have the default face.

I have this in my init.el:

  (set-variable 'py-variable-name-face 'default)

BTW

probably you should remove that, its at best redundant

py-variable-name-face inherits already default face, unless you customize otherwise

its implemented like that:

(defface py-variable-name-face
  '((t (:inherit default)))
  "Face method decorators."
  :group 'python-mode)

Removing that variable doesn't change the color. Do you know why the normal variable assignment and the tuple unpacking are getting different faces?

ahh, see the error now.

Presently font-lock-variable-name-face is used instead of py-variable-name-face

Thank you. It works now.
