Maybe, but I already had pygmentize, I already had less, and this small function took me less than 10 seconds to type in and start using immediately (and I use a particular style that pygmentize provides so that is a plus). :P In any case, thanks for sharing.
Oh, I forgot to mention that LESSPIPE is a mechanism to automatically pipe the contents of a file when opening in less, and that the linked LESSPIPE script has an option to use pigmentize for syntax highlighting.
It’s a tool for enhancing less & pygmentize, not replacing them.
Well, just providing info for everyone. I’m not trying to force you using that script :-)
