See original GitHub issue

Describe the issue As keywords and variables cannot start with a number in Python, the space between a number and a keyword can be skipped. The highlighting should separate the number and the keyword part.

Actual output

Which language seems to have the issue? python

Are you using highlight or highlightAuto? highlight

Sample Code to Reproduce

print(1if 0==0else"b")

Expected behavior Expeted output

(Also see GitHub’s highlighting above)

(Also, also should print be a built-in here?)

Reaching out to the author of the PR for our Python numeric support so see if there is a reason for all those \b at the end of number matches. But if this boils down to “better support average python” vs “better support code golf” (with no easy/clear solution) then I’ll probably close this a #wontfix and just say that code golf is not our specialty. We’ll see.
