Trying to convert code block with python syntax highlighting

[elinxie]

I am try to convert the following code (sample function, replacing back-ticks with apostrophes )

Markdown

''' python
def sample(args):
    return args[0]
'''

( Other docs here )

to Rst

... code-block:: python
    def sample(args):
        return args[0]

(Other docs here)

But the rst looks like this
rst

```python
    def sample(args):
        return args[0]

... code-block:: python
    (Other docs here)

Do you know what is going on? I looked into your code and saw that there is the function block_code that helps convert a markdown code block to a rst code block, and I see that m2r2 supports shell or bash syntax highlighting, but for some reason it's not working with python. Do you know what is going on?

Actually I found something funny that happens

So with
Markdown

''' python
def sample(args):
    return args[0]
'''

( Other docs here )

If I had some text above the code block like below
Markdown

(some text here)
''' python
def sample(args):
    return args[0]
'''

Then I get the error I showed
rst

(some text here)
```python
def sample(args):
     return args[0]

... code-block:: python
    (Other docs here)

But if I add a space:
Markdown

(some text here)

''' python
def sample(args):
    return args[0]
'''

Then I get the correct output
rst

(some text here)

... code-block:: python
    def sample(args):
        return args[0]


    (Other docs here)

So I guess m2r2 does support python syntax highlighting however there is this bug with the space. Is this something that should be fixed?

I'll be looking into this next

@elinxie I jush pushed some tests:

• 4932b8c
• bc65f0b

Or you can see the full diff here

Those tests are passing right now, so I'm not sure I have quite understood your problem... would you be able to provide a failing test?
