How to set up Python code highlighting in your terminal?

Python dev question I got on YouTube:

"Dan how did you set up Python syntax highlighting in your terminal?"

I'll explain the tools that I use to get Python code highlighting in my terminal using a combination of iTerm2 and the bpython REPL. Watch the video the learn where to find these tools and what you need to install.

Got a question? Leave a comment with your Python or general software dev question on this video and I'll try to cover it question in one of the next "#PythonQ&A" videos.

Is there any magic to list the files in the current working directory? Ipython supports Unix operations such as "ls" and "pwd", is this possible in bpython without having to import sys or use glob?

I highly recommended ipython for linux systems. Is not just code highlighting, Ipython has a lot of useful features
