Description

Hi. 👋

Short constant names seem to be highlighted incorrectly. I got the assumption that the bug might lie in this MagicPython package. What do you guys think? I ran across this while coding a project, and thought that I should do something about it.

  • Editor name and version: Visual Studio Code 1.23.1
  • Platform: macOS 10.12.6
  • Color scheme: Dracula
  • MagicPython version: Default in Visual Studio Code 1.23.1

VSCode Example

example

GitHub Example


LONGER = "Yeshh!"
B = "What?"

class SomeClass:
    MEMBER = 1
    MEMBER2 = 2
    A = 3
    ARE = 123
    A85 = "Something"

I would also like to give special mention to short constant names that end in numbers. They don't seem to be highlighted correctly, even though the same length character-based constants do.
