[Tex/LaTex] Using minted with mixed Python code and output

Question

I'm using minted to highlight code in Python. In some cases I want to mix code with output that the user will see. This gives me the red syntax error boxes, for example like so:

And sometimes it gives me no error but I would like to turn off the highlighting (second line):

So what I would like to know if it's possible to turn off the highlighting for a few lines but at the same time keeping the options such as the line numbering and background.

MWE:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{minted}
\definecolor{bg}{rgb}{0.95,0.95,0.95}
\newminted{python3}{bgcolor=bg, linenos=true, tabsize=4}

\begin{document}

I want lines 2 and 4 not to be highlighted but still keep the background and line numbering.

\begin{python3code}
>>> type(3.14)
<class 'float'>
>>> print(name)
NameError: name 'name' is not defined
\end{python3code}

\end{document}

Edit: To clarify: There are lines that I want highlighted that start with >>> and there are lines I want highlighted which don't start with >>>. There are also lines that I don't want highlighting for. So the default should be that it highlights the line but that I can add an exception to some lines.

Answer 1

The short and the long of this is: write a special lexer. But you’re in luck, it already exists, just use pycon as the language.

\newminted{pycon}{bgcolor=bg, linenos=true, tabsize=4}
