Putting it in PATH does not work. It needs to be in PYTHONPATH. I
suggest you use the official kitty binary builds, they come with
pygmentize bundled. https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/binary/

```bash
➜ ~ which python
/home/vofel/.pyenv/shims/python
```
Of course, it is in the PATH. As for the version, I use the latest stable one which is 3.10.0. Pygments is installed:
```bash
➜ ~ pip list | grep Pygments
Pygments 2.10.0
```
So with this configuration I expect syntax highlighting to work, but it doesn't. Tried on 2 `.py` files. Using `pygmentize file.py` directly from the command line works. So I'm not sure if the problem is on my side or if it is an actual bug, so I figured I'll ask here first.
Here's the debug output:

I was mislead by this line `note that pygments is included in the macOS kitty app` on the kitty-diff page, because to me it sounds like I had to install pygments manually on Linux. Either way, I still can't manage to make it work. What exactly do I need to set PYTHONPATH to?
If you are using the binary you dont need to do anything it willl work
out of the box. Just make sure you have only a single kitty executable
on your system that points to the installed official binary.
You can test it with
kitty +runpy 'import pygments; print(pygments)'

That throws an error. Importing things like os works. I had another kitty binary from the apt-get, but the version was old so I removed it and moved to the binary build. |

Looks like a bug, it will be fixed in the next kitty binary release.
