Does this allow highlighting function names in function calls? PythonImproved[0] does this (see lines 9 and 23 of [1]).

Yeah, should be fairly easy to add. Please submit an issue!

Could you compare/contrast MagicStack with PythonImproved generally? Would love to know if MS is strictly better.

Try to add this snippet anywhere in your code:

    r'('

Besides broken regexps, PythonImproved still doesn't highlight async/await, highlights raw docstrings as regexps, incorrectly handles implicit line continuations in function parameter annotations, etc.

Edit: here's an issue that documents some differences [1]

Fixed in v0.4.21!

What are the advantages over built-in syntax highlight in sublime text?

To name a few, we highlight correctly async/await, function annotations, very complex regexps, all kinds of unicode|byte|raw string literals (and new/old style formatting), docstrings, reserved words in improper contexts etc. Most importantly, MagicPython doesn't break where builtin sublime syntax fails, try this snippet for instance:

    def foo() -> int:
        return a

Noted, thanks

A bit off topic, but what theme and color scheme are you using in your Sublime Text screenshot?
