python language issues

[ncassetta]

In Python language definition I found some inconsistencies:

"and", "not", "or" are treated as operators in Prism, but IDLE and WING101 (I don't know PyCharm) highlight them as keywords (I agree they should be operators, but this is the usage ...).
The definition seems to reflect Python2: "print" is treated as a keyword (in Python3 it is a builtin function) and "raw_input" (no more used in Python3) is highlighted. Perhaps Python2 and Python3 should have different definitions.
Thanks for your attention

So, and, not, and or should be keywords (e.g. in VB does the same and it does look better as keywords). Ok, good point.

But splitting the (Prism) Python language?
I don't quite get the critique of raw_input. It's highlighted in Python2 and because it is not supported by Python3, nobody will use it, thus nothing is highlighted.
Are there a lot of case where Python2 and Python3 use the same syntax for different semantics? (I don't know python that well.)

The only annoying thing should be print, which is a command in Python2 and a builtin function in Python3

# Python 2
s = 'mum'
print 'I love', s

and

# Python 3
s = 'mum'
print('I love', s)

In Prism print gets the same color of while, for etc, while (in Python 3) it should have the same of len abs etc.

You could use the Highlight Keywords plugin to change the style of print depending on the Python version.

Ok, thanks!
I have not tried all the plugins yet!

I'm closing this now because without knowing the Python version of the code, it is impossible to when print is not a function.

Example:

print('foo')

It's impossible to tell from syntax alone whether it's Python 2 or 3.

As I state before:
You can change the highlighting of the print keyword specifically using the Highlight Keywords plugin and a bit of CSS.
