pygments-ipython-console

Syntax coloring for IPython Console Files

Overview

This package provides a Pygments lexer for IPython Console Files. The lexer is published as an entry point and, once installed, Pygments will pick it up automatically.

You can then use the ipython language with Pygments:

$ pygmentize -l ipython test.ipy

[Or use the standard sphinx import of ipython_console_highlight.py] In Sphinx documents the lexer is selected with the highlight directive:

.. highlight:: ipython

Thanks to pygments-openssl project for providing a template

Requirements

This needs IPython 2.0+ for lexers module

Installation

Use your favorite installer to install pygments-ipython into the same Python you have installed Pygments. Constructing an egg from repository:

$ git clone https://sanguineturtle@bitbucket.org/sanguineturtle/pygments-ipython-console.git
$ cd pygments-ipython-console
$ python setup.py bdist_egg

For example [change directory to dist/ folder to locate egg file]:

$ easy_install pygments-ipython-console.egg

To verify the installation run:

$ pygmentize -L lexer | grep -i ipython
* ipython:
IPython console session (filenames *.ipy)

Notes:

[1] This installs the Lexer: IpythonLexer. There are other lexers in IPython2.0 and you can change them by editing the simple lexer.py file
