I merely use GNU `enscript' for that, like this:

        lines = os.popen('enscript -p- -Whtml -G -E%s %s'
                         % (language or '', input)).readlines()

The variable `language' contains the string `python' for Python code.
If None, `enscript' will guess the language from the file extension.
(I merely wanted to force `.cgi' to mean Python.)

P.S. - For the curious, the above lines are taken from:
