I've been very happy with the latex listings package, which supports
python.

Do you want the text to be colored on the command line? Not exactly
sure what you mean. If so, gentoo has a very nice module for that,
that comes with portage. It's located here

/usr/lib/portage/pym/output.py

All it does is uses \ values for color.

I believe you are looking for py2pdf.py, the most recent version
that I can find being included in ReportLab, in the tools
directory.

It is very configurable, and the defaults are nice. It doesn't
offer recursion or output redirection like you want, but you
could probably take the code and run with it. What it will do
out of the box is to convert your specified files to individual
pdf files. For example:

python py2pdf.py *.py

results in a .pdf file for every .py file in the directory.

You said linux was OK. A simple enscript alias works wonders:

planck[python]> which codeprint
codeprint: ein Alias fur enscript -G2rjE --color !*
planck[python]> which codeps
codeps: ein Alias fur enscript -G2rjE --color -o !*.ps !*; gv !*.ps

That's what I use for all kinds of source, it does a pretty decent job with
python (and knows about C, C++, perl,...)

Cheers,

That's great! Thanks for turning me on to that. Here is the
alias I'm now using:

alias codeps='enscript -G2rjE --color -o -'

This takes input on stdin and sends the output to stdout, so the
OP can type:

codeps *.py > output.ps

and that is pretty close to what the OP wanted (minus
recursion).
