Sometimes, simple, old tools can be very handy:

haar[~]> which codeps
codeps:          aliased to enscript  -G2rjE --color -o !*.ps !*; gv !*.ps
haar[~]> which codeprint
codeprint:       aliased to enscript  -G2rjE --color  !*

This gives 2-up output, just remove the 2 option for single-page output.
enscript is a wonderful tool, I use this all the time to print code (and it
highlights many languages, not just python).
