I would like the Python code examples that appear on many PyPI summary pages
to be "syntax highlighted", such as you might have in any competent Python
IDE.

Pygments is a (even "the") popular Python library for syntax highlighting of
*many* programming languages and it integrates very well with the
reStructured Text used in PyPI descriptions.

http://pygments.org/

A few lines of code in PyPI hooking up Pygments into reStructured Text
(Pygments provides a ready made directive for this purpose) and including
the pygments css in PyPI pages would allow this.

All the best,

Michael Foord
