Not planned
Description
Since PEP 585 implemented in Python 3.9, one can use the generics syntax even with built-in collections, not just those included in typing (e.g. list vs. typing.List).
As such, in the screenshot below, the type hint for argument c isn't highlighted properly. In list[int], both list and int should be highlighted, whereas only int is highlighted currently. The type hint for argument b is highlighted correctly (and same for a).
- Editor name and version: VS Code 1.51.1

- MagicPython version: From the VS Code extension = 1.1.0
- A screenshot:
- 5-10 lines of surrounding code: None

Unfortunately there is no scope for inline type hints at all - as far as I could find.
The yellow highlighting in your screenshot is because
intandlisthave the scopesupport.type.python. This scope also applies for theintin this snippet:print(int(1.2)).There are scopes for type hint comments though:
I would love to see one or multiple scope(s) for inline type hints (variables, parameters, returns) like PyCharm has.
EDIT: with the new
Pylancelanguage server you can get semantic highlighting including type hints: https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release#semantic-highlightingasottile commentedon Mar 12, 2025
wasn't too bad, one line change in #271 to support this
