2026-03-11T23:55:00Z

- Improve the performance of all pythonNumber patterns by unrolling digit/underscore sequence loops. - Split the float literal pattern into two simpler patterns. fixes: vim/vim#19625 (Reported by James McCoy) closes: vim/vim#19630 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/2cf18fcc240030880bbd138e5174e436a3f20823 Co-authored-by: Doug Kearns

vim-patch:77cfc49: runtime(python): highlight ellipsis literals

2025-09-09T03:39:23Z

The ellipsis literal (`...`) can be used in multiple contexts: - Placeholders: `class Foo: ...` - Containers: `Tuple[int, ...]` - Assignments: `x = ...` This is a trickier pattern to match because we can't rely on keyword boundaries, so we instead look for exactly three dots (`...`). This does mean that we will match the `...` portion of `x...x`, which isn't valid Python syntax, but I think that's an acceptable trade-off that avoids making this pattern much more complex.

vim-patch:6bb16d2: runtime(python): Update syntax file, fix f-string float highlighting

2025-09-09T03:37:12Z

Fix matching of floats at the beginning of an f-string replacement field, immediately after the opening brace. The existing pattern, using `\zs`, cannot consume the already matched `{` so use a lookbehind instead.

vim-patch:99964e2: runtime(python): support 'type's soft keyword form

2025-08-24T12:09:33Z

`type` became a soft keyword in Python 3.12. In that form, it is a statement that declares a type alias: # type_stmt ::= 'type' identifier [type_params] "=" expression type Point = tuple[float, float] To implement support for this, this change does three things: 1. adds a `pythonType` group (linked to `Type`) 2. matches `type` followed by an identifier as `pythonStatement` 3. continues to match `type` in other forms as `pythonBuiltin` Ref: - https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#soft-keywords - https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-type-statement closes: vim/vim#18090 https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/99964e2ea704465f25207c519fefb2bb6d6931bb Co-authored-by: Jon Parise
