描述
The current IDLE colorizer was designed when the python grammar was restricted to a context-free subtype. Parsing with RE's was sufficient or closely so to pick out substrings to be color tagged. The current grammar's sometime context-dependence make this more difficult or even impossible.
A few versions ago, the new C tokenizer used to compile Python code was exposed as a function in the tokenizer module. It replaced a python-coded tokenizer that did not always match the old C tokenizer and that must have been much slower. I assume that is was not seen as suitable for IDLE colorizer. However, the current exposed C tokenizer is being used to power the new PyREPL colorizer. The initial (draft) patch copies portions of that colorizer.
My main concerns are compatibility and speed. Some initial questions:
- The syntax categories in the REPL colorizer are not the same as IDLE's (listed on the Highlights settings page). What are they?
- IDLE colorizes 10000 lines editor contents as well as single interactive lines. Will the PR colorizer do the same, with similar speed?
- Is REPL colorizer stable? Are there open bug reports? (Should be labelled
topic-repl.) The code is private and undocumented, I presume intentionally, and I do not expect that issues only relevant to IDLE would be welcome. - In the IDLE Issues project, colorizer issues are in Highlights section. Does this fix any, or appear to make fixes easier?

研究方向
先比較 IDLE 目前基於 regex 的 colorizer、基於 tokenizer 的 PyREPL colorizer,以及公開的 tokenizer 模組。檢視連結的 PR gh-140337 和 gh-152756,接著評估語法類別相容性、10,000 行編輯器的效能、REPL colorizer 的穩定性,以及與 IDLE Highlights issues 的相關性。
