Pygments

From a recent Python entry:

import tarfile, sys

try:
    #open tarfile
    tar = tarfile.open(sys.argv[1], "r:tar")

    #present menu and get selection
    selection = raw_input("Enter\n\
    1 to extract a file\n\
    2 to display information on a file in the archive\n\
...

This is the home of Pygments. It is a generic syntax highlighter for general use in all kinds of software such as forum systems, wikis or other applications that need to prettify source code. Highlights are:

  • a wide range of common languages and markup formats is supported
  • special attention is paid to details that increase highlighting quality
  • support for new languages and formats are added easily; most languages use a simple regex-based lexing mechanism
  • a number of output formats is available, among them HTML, RTF, LaTeX and ANSI sequences
  • it is usable as a command-line tool and as a library
  • ... and it highlights even Brainf*ck!

Though Pygments has not yet won an award, we trust that you will notice it's a top quality product <wink>.
