Maybe I'm misunderstanding: does the Google Code wiki currently
support this style: {{{{Python} ... }}}? I don't see that specifically
mentioned at http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/WikiSyntax .

Well, not many snippets come with a shebang line though.

{{{{Python} }}} works nicely because the braces are balanced. To
reduce the monotony, maybe use something else around the language
name? :

{{{=Python=

goes
here
}}}
