Three code examples in http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/multiprocessing.html#examples are not syntax highlighted.

[tshepang]

This is probably because Sphinx can't detect that those are Python sources, so my patch forces it to recognize it as such.

I tried the attached patch but it didn't work for me. Using "python3" instead of "python" seemed to fix the problem. I also updated another "python" to use "python3". Thanks for the report and the patch!

Ezio: That's a "bug" in Sphinx; even when the language is selected explicitly as "python", it will try to parse the code. It is fixed in a later Sphinx version.
