A simple python colorizer

#This blog is all about python and python code.
#
#I realize that ill be putting up a lot of code so I've
#written this simple python code to html converter.


#pyhtmlizer.py
#Colorize and convert you py file into html
#Usage: python pyhtmlizer <filename>
#Fixes:
#24-Feb-2005: Added elif and class to the keywords list
#24-Feb-2005: Function names in def starting with
#             underscores get coloured correctly
#26-Mar-2005: Fixed the regular expression to handle
#             the '\' in strings properly.
#31-Mar-2005:Added print to the keywords list
