rST:

.. code:: python


    >>> print('Hello World!')

    Hello World!

    >>>


generates the following HTML using rst2html.py

<body>
<div class="document">


<pre class="code python literal-block">
<span class="operator">&gt;&gt;&gt;</span> <span
class="keyword">print</span><span class="punctuation">(</span><span
class="literal string">'Hello World!'</span><span
class="punctuation">)</span>
<span class="name">Hello</span> <span class="name">World</span><span
class="error">!</span>
<span class="operator">&gt;&gt;&gt;</span>
</pre>
</div>
</body>

NOTE: the <span class="error">!<span>  I can not figure out how to escape
the exclamation point.

Any input on what I am doing wrong would be appreciated.
