Syntax Highlighting on Blogger

Followed this man's advice to get syntax highlighting working on blogger.

Some random BALRALGRH of python:
somelist = [[i, i**2, i**i] for i in xrange(25)]
for setofthreenumbers in somelist:
   print setofthreenumbers, " Holy Guantanamo!"

And a quick python snippet that will return lat/long data given a search string. This assumes that you have a Bing maps account and an account key, and that you are using Django.
import urllib
from django.utils import simplejson 
   
def get_lat_long(query):
    query = urllib.quote_plus(query)
    url ="http://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Locations?query=" + query + "&key=" + BINGKEY
    jsondata = simplejson.loads(urllib.urlopen(url).read())

    #only want one result
    if len(jsondata['resourceSets'][0]['resources']) == 1: 
        return jsondata['resourceSets'][0]['resources'][0]['point']['coordinates']
    else:
        return None
