I have following in my Python script:

What I try to do is

read a partial source code(e.g. line 20 to line 40) to buffer and pip/apply the IOSTREAM to pygmentize so that I can generate code highlighting for the partial source code.(e.g. line 20 to line 40)

Currently, I create partial tmp file for the partial source code(e.g. line 20 to line 40) and use the tmp file on pygmentize.

subprocess.call(["pygmentize", "-f", "html", "-o", htmlFile, tmpFileName])

tmpFileName is the file name for the code that I want to highlight.

My Question:

How can I create IOSTREAM and pip/apply the IOSTREAM to pygmentize so that I don't have to create tmp file in /tmp directory

Any suggestion would be appreciated!

why do you do it as a proc call instead of doing it in python? http://pygments.org/docs/quickstart/ – postelrich Sep 29 '15 at 20:58
This is very question, I did not realize there is highlight() function that you can do that. – elliptic00 Sep 29 '15 at 21:32
