It's not really difficult.   First choose a pygments style and create the 
latex definitions for it (STYLENAME serves as placeholder here):

pygmentize -S STYLENAME -f latex > pygments_style.tex

Now import the required packages and the style definitions:

\usepackage{color]
\usepackage{fancyvbr}
\input{pygments_style.tex}

These packages are included in Tetex as well as in Texlive, if not, you can 
of course install them from CTAN.

To format a snippet of code, run pygmentize and copy the output into your 
document:

pygmentize -f latex a_python_file.py

That's it.
