Pycco is unable to determine syntax for a Python3-formatted file without an appropriate extension

[zachriggle]

When running pycco file, it works well when the file is named foo.py, but does not work for foo despite having a shebang.

Example Script

Create this file as example. Note that if it is named example.py, everything works as expected.

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os

class CommandLineFlag(object):
    '''Holds information about a command-line argument'''

It looks like this is an underlying issue to the pygments library:

$ head -1 bin/code-audit-asserts
#!/usr/bin/env zsh

$ pygmentize bin/code-audit-asserts
Error: no lexer for filename 'bin/code-audit-asserts' found
