How to get different colorschemes in Vim split window?

Question

I prefer having different colorscheme for python and different for rest of the files.

So, what I did is added the below two lines in my vimrc

Answer 1

This is really more of a frowned upon, non-vim workaround, but you could use tmux or screen panes to separate two instances of vim with differing colorschemes.

Answer 2

I don't think that it's possible to reliably have different colorschemes active at the same time.

In fact, I'm very surprised that you are able to load different colorschemes for different windows. :colorscheme molokai is a global command that works on every buffer.

Answer 3

It's not exactly what you want, but this tab page color scheme vim plugin lets you assign a different colorscheme for each tab with :Tcolorscheme.
