Python pprint with color syntax highlighting for the console

pprint_color.py

from pprint import pformat
from typing import Any

from pygments import highlight
from pygments.formatters import Terminal256Formatter
from pygments.lexers import PythonLexer


def pprint_color(obj: Any) -> None:
    """Pretty-print in color."""
    print(highlight(pformat(obj), PythonLexer(), Terminal256Formatter()), end="")

Doesn't work for me in python 3.8 in a jupyter notebook

It doesn't work in newer versions because python no longer allows you to call print without parentheses. Just add parentheses to the last line and it will work:

    print( highlight(pformat(obj), PythonLexer(), Terminal256Formatter()) )

I've updated the gist for Python 3 and added type hints.
