copied!<p>If I understand correctly and you are trying to look at non-matching parenthesis in C code (that was generated in python), I would recommend you install rainbow.vim from <a href="http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/#RAINBOW" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Dr Chip's Site</a>. This will highlight braces in different colours depending on the levels of indentation and will highlight unmatching braces in red as you have requested. A screenshot <a href="http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/8586/rainbow.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="Rainbow Brace Error">http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/8586/rainbow.jpg http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/8586/rainbow.jpg</a></p> <p>To install, download <strong><code>rainbow.vim</code></strong> and place in <code>vimfiles/after/syntax/c/</code> (create this directory if it is not present).</p> <p>On Linux, this will be <code>~/.vim/after/syntax/c/rainbow.vim</code></p> <p>On Windows, it may be <code>c:\vim\vimfiles\after\syntax\c\rainbow.vim</code> or possibly somewhere else, see <code>:help runtimepath</code>.</p> <p>Note that there are some plugins that conflict with <code>rainbow.vim</code>, but it's not too hard to make them co-operate.</p> <p>If you are trying to highlight non-matching parenthesis in the python code, you could modify rainbow.vim to use the python syntax clusters instead of the C ones, but this is a little more involved, but you could use something along the lines of (modified version of Dr Chip's rainbow code):</p> <pre><code>syn cluster pyParenGroup contains=pythonString,pythonRawString,pythonEscape,pythonNumber,pythonBuiltin,pythonException syn match pyParenError display ')' syn region pyParen transparent matchgroup=hlLevel0 start='(' end=')' contains=@pyParenGroup,pyParen1 syn region pyParen1 transparent matchgroup=hlLevel1 start='(' end=')' contains=@pyParenGroup,pyParen2 syn region pyParen2 transparent matchgroup=hlLevel2 start='(' end=')' contains=@pyParenGroup,pyParen3 syn region pyParen3 transparent matchgroup=hlLevel3 start='(' end=')' contains=@pyParenGroup,pyParen4 syn region pyParen4 transparent matchgroup=hlLevel4 start='(' end=')' contains=@pyParenGroup,pyParen5 syn region pyParen5 transparent matchgroup=hlLevel5 start='(' end=')' contains=@pyParenGroup,pyParen6 syn region pyParen6 transparent matchgroup=hlLevel6 start='(' end=')' contains=@pyParenGroup,pyParen7 syn region pyParen7 transparent matchgroup=hlLevel7 start='(' end=')' contains=@pyParenGroup,pyParen8 syn region pyParen8 transparent matchgroup=hlLevel8 start='(' end=')' contains=@pyParenGroup,pyParen9 syn region pyParen9 transparent matchgroup=hlLevel9 start='(' end=')' contains=@pyParenGroup,pyParen hi link pyParenError Error if &bg == "dark" hi default hlLevel0 ctermfg=red guifg=red1 hi default hlLevel1 ctermfg=yellow guifg=orange1 hi default hlLevel2 ctermfg=green guifg=yellow1 hi default hlLevel3 ctermfg=cyan guifg=greenyellow hi default hlLevel4 ctermfg=magenta guifg=green1 hi default hlLevel5 ctermfg=red guifg=springgreen1 hi default hlLevel6 ctermfg=yellow guifg=cyan1 hi default hlLevel7 ctermfg=green guifg=slateblue1 hi default hlLevel8 ctermfg=cyan guifg=magenta1 hi default hlLevel9 ctermfg=magenta guifg=purple1 else hi default hlLevel0 ctermfg=red guifg=red3 hi default hlLevel1 ctermfg=darkyellow guifg=orangered3 hi default hlLevel2 ctermfg=darkgreen guifg=orange2 hi default hlLevel3 ctermfg=blue guifg=yellow3 hi default hlLevel4 ctermfg=darkmagenta guifg=olivedrab4 hi default hlLevel5 ctermfg=red guifg=green4 hi default hlLevel6 ctermfg=darkyellow guifg=paleturquoise3 hi default hlLevel7 ctermfg=darkgreen guifg=deepskyblue4 hi default hlLevel8 ctermfg=blue guifg=darkslateblue hi default hlLevel9 ctermfg=darkmagenta guifg=darkviolet endif </code></pre> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>As a test, I downloaded <strong>gvim70.zip</strong> and <strong>vim70rt.zip</strong> from <a href="ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/</a> (these are the Windows versions of Vim 7.0). I unzipped the two files into a new directory and ran <code>gvim.exe</code> from <code>vim/vim70/gvim.exe</code>. I <strong>do not</strong> have any vim configuration stored in "C:\Documents and Settings", so running this vim is the same as running a 'vanilla' configuration. I then downloaded <code>pyprint.py</code> from <a href="http://www.amk.ca/python/simple/pyprint.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">amk.ca/python/simple/pyprint.html</a> as a piece of sample code and copied the above code into a file called code.vim. In gVim, I entered <code>:e pyprint.py</code>. It opened in the white-background window, with no syntax highlighting. I then entered <code>:syntax on</code>, which switched the default syntax highlighting on. I added a second <code>)</code> character on line 8. Finally, I entered <code>:source code.vim</code>, which made the second <code>)</code> character be highlighted in red.</p> <p>I've also carried out this test on Linux (with Vim 7.2), by entering the following command sequence:</p> <pre><code>cd ~ mv .vimrc old_dot_vimrc mv .gvimrc old_dot_gvimrc mv .vim old_dot_vim vim pyprint.py :e pyprint.py " Add extra bracket here! :syntax on :source code.vim </code></pre> <p>Again, the second bracket is highlighted and everything else seems normal.</p>
