Scintilla’s Python lexer has a property lexer.python.keywords2.no.sub.identifiers which, when set to 1, prevents it from highlighting attributes as builtins.

In other words, with this property set to 1, a bare file is highlighted, because it’s a Python builtin, but the word file in obj.file is not highlighted, because it’s an unknown attribute of obj.

This is almost always the desired behavior and it should be the default. If someone has a peculiar codebase where obj.file is the same as the builtin file, they can flip the switch back in their filetypes.python.
