Highlighting the self variable in Python

[lfalin]

Describe the issue Many syntax highlighters identify self in python as a distinct identifier, similar to $this in PHP. Highlight.js does not currently do this.

Which language seems to have the issue? python

Are you using highlight or highlightAuto? Both

Sample Code to Reproduce

class SelfTest:
    def __init__(self):
        self.text = True

    def method(self):
        pass

Expected behavior (From Sublime Text)

Actual behavior

Additional context While the python grammar definition recognizes self, it does not assign it a scope. In contrast, the PHP definition assigns the variable.language scope to $this.
