# pygments.rb
|
||
|
|
||
|
A Ruby wrapper for the Python [pygments syntax
|
||
|
highlighter](http://pygments.org/).
|
||
|
|
||
|
pygments.rb works by talking over a simple pipe to a long-lived Python child
|
||
|
process. This library replaces
|
||
|
[github/albino](https://github.com/github/albino), as well as a version of
|
||
|
pygments.rb that used an embedded Python interpreter.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Each Ruby process that runs has its own 'personal Python'; for example, 4
|
||
|
Unicorn workers will have one Python process each. If a Python process dies,
|
||
|
a new one will be spawned on the next pygments.rb request.
