Support python 3 syntax about vscode-language-renpy

[LuqueDaniel]

This is certainly something we need to implement. Right now both Ren'Py and Python syntax highlighting are defined in the syntaxes/renpy.tmLanguage.json file. The first thing will be to collect the syntax changes and write examples to validate the changes.

So far my experience editing that file hasn't been very good, so I'll have to study it from start to finish.

Yeah it's a bit of a tricky one to edit given it's all regex strings unescaped. It's kinda difficult to follow.

That said I'm wondering if it's possible to leverage semantic highlighting for it via a parser. It may potentially be easier especially if we actually want to make type annotations functional like the standard python extension where hovering over a variable will also note its type.

[LuqueDaniel]

A good approach may be to handle Python syntax as an embedded language, especially now that Ren'Py is going to support Python 3. This way we would only have to worry about maintaining the Ren'Py syntax.

[multimokia]

I think this would make the most sense. Makes it a lot easier on our part then. My main concern is also the hover provider in this plugin to respect the type annotations as well

[multimokia]

It'd also massively clean up the syntaxes json since right now it seems to cover a mix of both renpy and python syntaxes, and as well it may just wind up fixing #6 if we split python handling to be separate?

I think it would solve it because it would apply only the Python syntax to that scope.

[LuqueDaniel]

In my spare time, I've started to rewrite the grammar. At the moment I've reimplemented the Python statements, using source.renpy (the grammar of the Python extension of VSCode). This way we will only have to implement and maintain Ren'Py specific syntax.

There is still a long way to go, but if you want to try it, you can do it with PR #76. Contributions, feedback, and bug reports are welcome!

Amazing, I'll definitely pull this!

some issues with function typing

i know you've been working on it for a while but i'll still post this

[LuqueDaniel]

@Elckarow Thank you. It's already fixed in new-syntax branch. But support for type hint has yet to be added to other features.

Fixed as of v2.1.0-pre-release
