pygments for coloring source, not just REPL

c.TerminalInteractiveShell.highlighting_style only affects syntax highlighting of code typed in the prompt

Why doesn't it affect highlighted source code when using ipython's ?? helper which shows the source code of any class/function? That would be very appropriate!

I don't think they are implemented in the same way.
For source code shown as part of the result of pinfo, a PyColorize module is used, and you configure it in a different way: c.InteractiveShell.colors = 'Linux'.

I know this :)

I don't think they are implemented in the same way.

But why? Pygments would be appropriate for coloring source shown by ClassName??. It would avoid having to use or even maintain 2 different implementations, would allow to have one color scheme instead of 2, etc.

Yes, in theory Pygments can be used to both place.
