[FIXED] How to show (as output cell) the contents of a .py file with syntax highlighting?

Issue

I'm aware of the %load function (formerly %loadpy) which loads the contents of a file (or URL, ...) into a new input cell (which can be executed afterwards).

I'm also aware of %less, %more and %pycat, which show the contents of a file in a pager (which means in the notebook it's shown in the split-window at the bottom of the screen).

Is there a (magic) command to load a file and show its content (with syntax highlighting) in an output cell?

I.e. something like the following but with syntax highlighting of the result:

with open('my_file.py', 'r') as f:
    print(f.read())

I want the file content to be stored with the .ipynb file but I don't want it to be executed when I do Cell -> Run All.

Is there a command similar to %psource which shows the source code in an output cell instead of a pager?

Solution

No there is not way to do that with current magics, but it is pretty easy using pygments and returning IPython.display.HTML(...).
