My eyes are delighted. Thank you Sir!

Thanks bro, it's amazing

👍

In the next versions of Python (3.7.5+), there will be a new highlight option for line numbers, so you'll need to add "linenumber-foreground" and "linenumber-background".

BTW, it is safe to add these values to this gist, they will simply be ignored on earlier versions of Python.

Thank you so much!

I have made a video on Steps of how to set Monokai (or in general any theme) in IDLE for Windows 10 platform. Real thing starts from 0.50min. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV4tndJX_wI

Simp thank you 🙌🏼

Thank you! It's great.

Thank you for this.

Simple, but goes a long way. Thanks!

print ('Thanks a lot!')

On mac you can use cmd+Shift+. to see hidden files starting with dot.

print("Thanks a lot!!")
print("You saved my eyes")
