python-waterloo-lexer 0.5.7

A pygments lexer derived from the Python lexer, for Waterloo docstrings

Python-Waterloo Lexer

python-waterloo-lexer is a Pygments lexer for Python files that contain Waterloo docstrings.

It can be used with pygmentize and other tools that load Pygments lexers via entry points.

What it provides

• a python-waterloo Pygments lexer alias
• syntax highlighting for Python files with Waterloo docstrings
• installation via PyPI, local checkout, or Git URL

Installation

pip install python-waterloo-lexer

Quick test

After installation, the lexer is available under the alias python-waterloo.

pygmentize -l python-waterloo -f terminal16m <file.py>

You can also check whether Pygments lists the lexer:

pygmentize -L lexers | grep -i waterloo || true

Terminal viewer

For a quick terminal preview, a less alias can be handy:

alias lessh='LESSOPEN="| pygmentize -O style=monokai %s" less -M -R'

Then open files with:

lessh <file.py>
