I tried using code blocks while writing PEP 551 but they weren’t highlighted on the python.org rendering.
Personally I think it would be great, provided a good colour scheme is available (some default schemes are... not always works of art). I’m not sure who is responsible for that side of things though – presumably it’s just a case of installing pygments. (FWIW, I’m not keen on going back and modifying old PEPs, but I won’t stop someone doing it on their own terms.)

If Pygments is not installed, or there is a syntax error, syntax highlighting is absent. GitHub does show Pygments syntax highlighting in .. code:: blocks for .rst and .restructuredtext documents [4] 1. Does the python.org PEP view support .. code:: blocks? [5] 2. Syntax highlighting is an advantage for writers, editors, and readers. 3. Should PEPs use .. code:: blocks to provide this advantage?
