[Question] Is it possible to have python syntax highlighting inside fish terminal?

[FilipeMarch]

Sometimes I open fish terminal, type python and press enter to test something quickly. Is it possible to activate syntax highlighting for python code inside fish terminal, while running the python interpreter inside it?

Thanks.

Hey there, @FilipeMarch! You're looking for this repo: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell. Just a heads up, Fisher is just the plugin manager. 😄

To cut this off at the pass, @FilipeMarch: No need to file a fish question either, because fish is not a terminal.

Once python runs, fish is out of the loop. Fish starts it and hands it control of the terminal.

Anyway, what you want is https://ipython.org/ - an alternative python interface.

Thanks, I thought I would find a fisher plugin that would accomplish what I was looking for.

Ok, brother. Thank you for your response. I really believed fish was a terminal 😂. And I have been using it for years! I love it.

I will take a look on alternative python interfaces. Thanks!
