Greetings -- as a long time user of both Python and Ruby
interpreters, I got used to the latter's syntax-coloring gem,
wirble, which colorizes Ruby syntax on the fly. Is there
anything similar for Python?

I believe IPython can do this:

IPython's syntax coloring doesn't work with Windows 2000 and
up, since (last I checked) it relies on a readline.py file,
which relies on ANSI.SYS, which is not supported by the
Windows console.
If you scroll down about half a page in the above link you'll
find a link to a readline implementation for Windows.

That pyreadline.py appears to be an improvement on the Windows
support when I last looked (6 months or so ago). Thanks for the
heads up.


And it's worth looking at ipykit[1] which is a standalone
bundle of ipython py2exe-ed for Windows users.
