Script Editor improvements when using Python (add opionated formatter, dark theme, auto-match single-quotes, properly highlight (mis)matching brackets)

What inspired this wish list request? 

Working a little with Python code in JMP's Script Editor and hoping for a bit more.

 

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

Add dark theme (Currently there isn't properly working dark theme and I had to create my own). Make this different from JSL so it is immediately obvious which editor is open (background might be most important part of this).

Bracket highlighting doesn't seem to work properly with Python in Script Editor.

 

When using single-quotes they aren't being auto-matched

 

Add some sort of opinionated formatter for Python (ruff, black, ...) which could be used with Reformat Script

 

Disable JSL auto-complete from Script Editor when using Python (or add one which supports Python).

 

 

Why is this idea important? 

Makes writing Python in Script Editor easier and more fun. Currently I almost feel like I should always go to some other IDE and paste the code back to Script Editor.
