    You can enable syntax highlighting in the Python REPL inside Visual Studio Code by using the Python extension along with the new Native REPL features introduced in Python 3.14, which now support real-time syntax coloring and autocompletion.

    Example – Starting a Native REPL with Highlighting in VS Code:

    // settings.json
    {
    "python.REPL.sendToNativeREPL": true,
    "python.REPL.enableREPLSmartSend": true
    }
    Copied!

    Then:

    1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or ⇧⌘P on macOS).

    2. Search for Python: Start Native REPL.

    3. Type Python code — keywords, strings, and comments will be colorized if your terminal supports ANSI colors.

    Native REPL in VS Code The Native REPL builds on the standard Python REPL but adds:

    • Syntax highlighting for keywords, strings, numbers, and comments in real time.

    • Smart Send (Shift+Enter) to send runnable code chunks from the editor to the REPL.

    • Autocompletion for module names in import statements (Python 3.14+).
