Hi.

It looks like your example misses one thing. You need to tell the 
highlighter which formats to be used for the matched items. Something 
like this:

     Highlighter *highlighter = new 
Highlighter(ui->plainTextEdit->document());
     QTextCharFormat format;
     format.setForeground(QColor(Qt::red));
     highlighter->configureFormat(Highlighter::Comment, format); // 
Configure the format for comments.

Please notice that there are other formats available. Also, make sure 
that your app can find the definition file (python.xml in your case).

Regards,
Leandro.
