Python Document class

I'm a heavy user of both TextPad and Python. I'd like to see Python as a standard installed Document class (Yes, I know everyone want their favourite language to be standard). Perl is in by default, but according to http://www.tiobe.com/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html Python has way higher rating than Perl.
Thanks

Just in case you don't know (as addons are hard to find when you are on the site), goto

There are currently eight Python syntax files, although I guess you are making the point that you would like TP to come "precharged" with the .py document class.

Thanks Peter.
Yes, I have the addon and have it configured. But whenever I move to a new machine etc it's a bit of a pain.
Python programmers are also very picky about their indentation levels, and use of spaces vs tabs.
Would like to see Python in as a pre-installed document class. Would be good for that to have indentation of 4 spaces, and convert tabs to spaces.
