Dear Stardiviner,

I used the "scimax" configuration. Scimax's maintainer, John Kitchin, helped me out to find the root cause of the problem, i.e. the following addition to " python-font-lock-keywords":

(setq python-font-lock-keywords
      (append python-font-lock-keywords
     '(;; this is the full string.
;; group 1 is the quote type and a closing quote is matched
;; group 2 is the string part
(
;; "f\\(['\"]\\{1,3\\}\\)\\([^\\1]+?\\)\\1"
"f\\(['\"]\\{1,3\\}\\)\\(.+?\\)\\1"
;; these are the {keywords}
("{[^}]*?}"
 ;; Pre-match form
 (progn (goto-char (match-beginning 0)) (match-end 0))
 ;; Post-match form
 (goto-char (match-end 0))
 ;; face for this match
 (0 font-lock-variable-name-face t))))))

Commenting out this code snippet, the fontfying / HTML-export problem goes away.

Cheers,

sebastian

Hi,

I am using emacs 27.1 and org-plus-contrib 20201026.

I am having problems with the fontification of python and ipython source blocks when the code contains curly brackets "{}" (other course blocks are ok). For instance, the following snippet

#+BEGIN_SRC python :results drawer
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3])
plt.show()
a=1
print("a={}".format{a})
#+END_SRC

does not fontify correctly in either python or ipython source blocks.

As a consequence, when exporting the org file to HTML (C-c C-e h h), it fails with the following message:

font-lock-fontify-keywords-region: Invalid function: #<subr progn>

If changing the code snippet to:

#+BEGIN_SRC python :results drawer
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3])
plt.show()
a=1
print("a=%s" % a)
#+END_SRC

the block fontifies and the file is exported to HTML correctly.

Can you reproduce this behaviour?

Many thanks in advance!
