Python Help

The >>> prompt has disappeared in my WinPython 3.12.x.x IDLE.

Is this intentional? I haven’t seen any mention of this anywhere.

Hello,

can you try changing the Highlighting Theme:

Options > Configure IDLE > Highlights:

highlight_theme
highlight_theme155×214 3.01 KB

Select a theme from the drop-down menu and make sure to click the Apply button for changes to take effect. Note that you can also create your own custom theme.

Ah, the >>> prompt got moved to the margin and wasn’t showing 'coz it was the same color as background.

Thanks!
