About jupyterlab-pygments

from the package's own PyPI description — quoted content, verbatim

JupyterLab Pygments Theme

This package contains a syntax coloring theme for pygments making use of the JupyterLab CSS variables.

The goal is to enable the use of JupyterLab's themes with pygments-generated HTML.

Screencast

In the following screencast, we demonstrate how Pygments-highlighted code can make use of the JupyterLab theme.

Installation

jupyterlab_pygments can be installed with the conda package manager

conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab_pygments

or from pypi

pip install jupyterlab_pygments

Dependencies

jupyterlab_pygments requires pygments version 2.4.1.
The CSS variables used by the theme correspond to the CodeMirror syntex coloring theme defined in the NPM package @jupyterlab/codemirror. Supported versions for @jupyterlab/codemirror's CSS include 0.19.1, ^1.0, and, ^2.0.

Limitations

Pygments-generated HTML and CSS classes are not granular enough to reproduce all of the details of codemirror (the JavaScript text editor used by JupyterLab).

AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Provides a syntax-highlighting theme for Pygments that applies JupyterLab's CSS variables, enabling JupyterLab's visual styling in Pygments-generated HTML output.

Low friction: pure Python wheel with no runtime dependencies. Maintenance is dormant (994 days since last release in November 2023), but the repository remains active with 80 stars and supports Python 3.8–3.12.

BSD license (permissive); you may use, modify, and distribute this package freely provided you retain copyright notices and disclaimers.

Usage

pip install jupyterlab_pygments

from jupyterlab_pygments import JupyterStyle

Verdict: A lightweight, dependency-free theme package that brings JupyterLab's visual style to syntax-highlighted code. Dormant maintenance and no known vulnerabilities make it stable for existing projects, though updates to JupyterLab's themes will not be reflected without a new release.

Needs verification

Whether Pygments 2.4.1 is an automatic runtime dependency or must be installed separately.
Current compatibility with JupyterLab 4.x and recent versions of the underlying theme dependency.
How the theme integrates with code generation workflows in practice.
