Is there any Python syntax highlighter for Visual Studio 2010?

Question

When I used Visual Studio 2008 I could install IronPython + IronPython Integrated IDE + Visual Studio Shell Integrated Mode and then my Visual Studio would parse .py files and highlight its syntax.

I tried the same with Visual Studio 2010 beta 2 with no success. Where is the catch? Should I wait a bit longer for new releases or there is a shortcut?

It worked, and this solution works even if you only have VS2010 (no IronPython etc) – Jader Dias Dec 16 '09 at 00:17
The above link doesn't seem to be working, can you please fix it? – Shimmy Weitzhandler Apr 22 '10 at 04:03

Those extensions only supported VS 2010 Beta 2. The IronPython team will be releasing their own extensions for VS 2010 RTM within the next couple of weeks. – Jeff Hardy Apr 22 '10 at 15:05
They produced new extensions for RTM, it's on CTP3 now, a vsix file. – Shimmy Weitzhandler Jul 08 '10 at 13:35

The location of the .vsix file that Shimmy mentions is here -- http://ironpython.net/tools/download/ – Gordon Broom Jul 08 '10 at 18:19

https://github.com/jesse99/Linguist does the job, too. Horrible style settings, but it works great.
