Textmate Grammar Python

A lexer and tokenizer for grammar files as defined by TextMate and used in VSCode, implemented in Python.

Textmate grammars are made for vscode-texmate, allowing for syntax highlighting in VSCode after tokenization. This presents textmate-grammar-python with a large list of potentially supported languages.
