Hi Marc,
I've taken the liberty to add buildout to your code to make it accesible to more people without having to install mechanize.
I've also added an option for syntax highlight when uploading.
You can find the code here: https://github.com/maraca/gisty
Thanks a lot for your very useful snippet !
