'Github-Flavored-Markdown in Python

Does anyone knows of a working Python GFM implementation?

Currently I'm using a javascript renderer. It works, but an actual Python renderer would be the right tool for the job. (FS is a Django app)

I tried combining this with this. But the results are not so good.

Syntax highlighting is a plus.

Python-Markdown plus py-gfm seems to work well. It has the benefit of being somewhat standardized within the Python ecosystem - several extensions for Python-Markdown are available, then additional packages like django_markdown can be built on top of Python-Markdown and benefit from its extensions.

In case helpful for others, I just wanted the Github fenced code syntax, e.g.

```python
def hello():
   print('this should be rendered properly')
```

Python Markdown actually ships with an extension to do this already called Fenced Code Blocks that works well.

You just call it like so:

page_content = markdown.markdown(source, extensions=[FencedCodeExtension()])

Python has its own Markup language that is fairly similar to Markdown: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

Grip is also pretty cool and gets the job done.
