And after a night's sleep, I just realized the inconsistency of using the arguments for
python:.
*inhale, sigh*
In fact, I think I even misunderstood the purpose of python template (it's an alternative form to Stored, not a 3rd option totally inedite).
If you think that deleting them would improve the code, go ahead.
Also, I was going to say that syntax highlighting is possible, since "Action Chains" does it in its module editor... but it uses something different (TextEdit from calibre.gui2.tweak_book.editor.text), so no, crap.
At least, maybe highlight
python: to identify what we are in.
... Maybe an idea, I'm looking at it.
EDIT: And, it works.
