    🌈 Semantic Highlighting for Python in Neovim

  • Vim's highlighting is more limited. Vim uses regex for syntax highlighting as opposed to using ASTs. You can try looking in the Neovim direction instead. Here's some Neovim-only plugin https://github.com/numirias/semshi for python specifically.

  • nvim-treesitter

    Nvim Treesitter configurations and abstraction layer

  • Was gonna recommend this as well. Here's a link to it: nvim-treesitter

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • dotfiles

    My Arch Linux dotfiles (by brainfucksec)

  • I use this file in the after/syntax folder and looks good.

  • python-syntax

    Python syntax highlighting for Vim

  • The easiest and least-effort way of getting this would be to use this extended and well-maintained version of the Python syntax file: https://github.com/vim-python/python-syntax It can be installed as a Vim plugin.

  • vimrc

    The ultimate Vim configuration (vimrc)

  • I've been using https://github.com/amix/vimrc as a config base, with a few customizations on top. Python highlighting works out of the box.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
