Source code highlighting with Python and Pygments

I was looking for a source code highlighting solution to colorize code I place into this blog. I found there are a number of solutions available. Many are external programs which run against the source file such as GNU Source-highlight, however, some are browser based and use JavaScript to markup the code in realtime as Syntax Highlighter does.

Pygments is an python based generic syntax highlighter that has support for wide number of programming languages and markup formats.
