Python is very self aware and py2html [1] takes advantage of this. I would recommend this route if you only ever need to highlight python code. (As an aside I had found py2html2 which I liked the output of better - but it seems to no longer be available online [2] ) SilverCity [3] claims to offer 20 different languages, but I have never gotten it to work and have only ever heard bad things about it from others. Although, I understand Trac [4] uses it as a backup to the often used comman line utility Enscript [5]. I've tried searching Trac's code to see how they implemented either with no success. There is also the command line utility Highligh [6] which I really like. However, it is much less likely to be installed on a shared host than Enscript. Interestinly, Highlight also has Swig [7] bindings [8] for python but I have not been able to get them to successfuly compile into a python module. In the end I wrote a few quick little scripts to use either Enscript or Highlight from the command line. While they work, I'm not confident in their stability or performance and have yet to release them at part of a Markdown [9] extension I'm working on. I want to rework them to use some of the ideas expressed in this [10] 5 part series on wrapping command-line programs.
