Themes

This chapter is about bpython’s themeing capabalities.

bpython uses .theme files placed in your ~/.bpython directory. You can set the theme in the color_scheme option in your ~/bpython/config` file (Configuration). You can find some of our themes in our gallery on our website: http://bpython-interpreter.org/themes/

Available Colors

  • k = black
  • r = red
  • g = green
  • y = yellow
  • b = blue
  • m = magenta
  • c = cyan
  • w = white
  • d = default, this will make the switch default to the bpython default theme

Any letter writting uppercase will make the switch bold.

  • name
  • comment
  • string
  • error
  • number
  • operator
