No in-context syntax highlighting for Python?

I'm partway through switching to PyCharm. Fully prepared to pay for a license, up until I tried to get the theme set up in a way that works for me and a very essential functionality is missing and I can't seem to find a plugin to provide the behavior I need. It seems like there is no support for eg. setting the color for a class constructor versus an instance variable versus a method call versus a static method call etc etc. I can do all these things in VSCode, and they're really essential to making code immediately visually intuitive. I don't know if I can move to PyCharm until this is implemented :(

This feels kind of ridiculous in an IDE that's dedicated to Python, for Python to be such a third class citizen of the syntax highlighter. It would even be fine if it took half a second to do the parsing. I just need some level of language context awareness.

I hope this gets fixed. I used PyCharm in college and really liked it. Now I'm willing to pay for a license except for this issue. I'd like to come back. If there's any workaround/plugin/nightly buiild I can try, please let me know I'm pretty interested in finding a workaround to this issue.
