Python library for syntax highlighting

Which Python library for syntax highlighting is the best one? I'm interested in things like supported languages, ease of use, pythonic design, dependencies, development status, etc.

+1  A: 

I've always heard pygments as the module for syntax highlighting. I have never used it myself, tho.

It works great! I've used the lexers provided to write some code indenters.

+7  A: 

I think pygments is the greatest choice. It supports a large number of languages and it's very mature.
