So, to me
f'{x.partition(' + ')[0]}'
reads as a string concatenation. I'm not sure how you'd expect a syntax highlighter to make it look like anything else, to be honest
One possible syntax highlighting scheme:
Thanks for the detailed explanation and example. Yes, that may well be a reasonable highlighting scheme. I'd still object to reusing single quotes in the example given, though, as it would be confusing if printed, or in email, etc. And as a general principle, "needs syntax highlighting to be readable" is a problem to me. So I stand by my statement that as a style rule, f-strings should be written to work identically regardless of whether this proposal is implemented or not. Paul
