Pygments 0.5, the first public release, is available from
http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/Pygments.

Pygments aims to be 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 increasing quality by a fair amount
     * support for new languages and formats are added easily
     * a number of output formats is available, presently HTML, LaTeX
       and ANSI sequences
     * it is usable as a command-line tool and as a library
     * ... and it highlights even Brainf*ck!

The home page is at <http://pygments.pocoo.org>.
