I want tot use pygments in my python app.

At first, I installed pygments like this:

$sudo python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local

/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'zip_safe'

  warnings.warn(msg)

/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'include_package_data'

  warnings.warn(msg)

running install

running build

running build_py

running build_scripts

running install_lib

running install_scripts

changing mode of /usr/local/bin/pygmentize to 755

running install_egg_info

Removing /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Pygments-1.4-py2.7.egg-info

Writing /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Pygments-1.4-py2.7.egg-info

After getting import error (ImportError: cannot import name highlight
) when trying to from pygments import highlight, and find out that there is a python-pygments package, I installed it from software center. Now it was installed in /usr/share/pyshared/pygments and there are symlinks in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pygments point to that location which is much better then /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages with manual install.

But I keep getting ImportError.

What am I doing wrong?
