Light Pyrefly is a lightweight Python semantic highlighting extension for Visual Studio Code. It provides beautiful, context-aware syntax coloring without the overhead of a full type checker or LSP server.

Features

• Context-aware coloring for variables, classes, methods, and built-in Python types.
• Completely standalone - does not require Python language servers (like Pylance or Jedi) to function.
• Works perfectly for quick scripts, large files, or environments where a full language server is too heavy.
• Custom fallback color themes tailored for Python highlighting.

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code version 1.75.0 or higher.
• A theme that supports semantic highlighting.
