You'll probably have to subclass the control and override the SetupBaseStyles where you'll have to use the StyleSetSpec to specify your lexer's settings. Here is a link that walks you through a lot of the process:

And here's the official wxPython wiki page on the subject:

Finally, here's a link to a short example:
