In C mode I have the following in my ~/.emacs that will highlight a 
function name:

;; Highlight punctuation in C mode
(add-hook
 'c-mode-common-hook
 (lambda ()
   (font-lock-add-keywords
    nil
    '(("[<>:&*=+^%!~,.?;/-]"
       0 font-lock-warning-face nil)))
   ))

In C mode this will highlight all characters in a function name (left of 
the opening parentheses) to the word boundary including underscores.  I 
am attempting to use the same for python mode, however, the regex matches 
up to the first underscore, if there is one, but no further.  I'll admit 
to not be intimately familiar with Emacs regexes and I did try re-builder 
and was unable to get a match on the underscore.

Is it possible that Python Mode is blocking the regex from matching 
underscores?

TIA

- Nate
