In the documentation for the listings package it says:
literate = [*]<replacement item>. . .<replacement item>First note that there are no commas between the items. Each item
consists of three arguments:{<replace>}{<replacement text>}{<length>}.<replace>is the original character sequence.
Instead of printing these characters, we use<replacement text>,
which takes the width of<length>characters in the output.[…]
The optional star indicates that literate replacements should not be
made in strings, comments, and other delimited text.
Problem:
I want to define my own language with listings but can not use the above mentioned star, as it gives me a compiling error.
The following (I tried [] brackets too) does not work even though it works without the star *:
literate = *{-}{{{\color{purple}-}}}{1}
Please note that this is just a excerpt of a bigger list of literates, which shouldn't change the usage however.
MWE:
This is probably not minimal, but I wanted to keep it as close to the original as possible so one could see other errors. It is actually compiling now. It has lost its colors in the non-comment parts though, moreover it puts completely arbitrary quotation marks (this also occurs in the original).

outsourced: Listings: recognize numbers and `1e-3`
Best Answer
You have to use a different
literatefor starred ones:If you add more literates after this one (without the star) they will behave as if they were starred. For example
Also, the quotes at the beginning of the listing are due to the fact that there's a missing comma after
MWE:
Output
Note that I've added two
?in your listing just to show the effect, remove them as well as{?}{{{\color{ipython_purple}?}}}1in the secondliterate.
