Script display from an external file in Jupyter Notebook with syntax-highlighting

I am making a tutorial using Jupyter and I would like to display the content of an external Python script. Printing the content of the file is trivial, but I am interested in a color-coded/syntax-highlighted text (either in a markdown cell or as an output).

Solution

  • Use Ipython's Markdown module:

    from IPython.display import Markdown as md

script = """
x = 2
if x*2 > 2:
    print('x > 2')
else:
    x = None
"""

md("```Python" + script + "```")

    Will output:
