Yup, I followed the tutorial and set up minted some time ago and I have
not looked back: I just tried the following

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+LaTeX_CLASS: beamer
#+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [presentation]
#+BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL: 1
#+BEAMER_HEADER_EXTRA: \usetheme{default}\usecolortheme{default}
#+COLUMNS: %45ITEM %10BEAMER_env(Env) %10BEAMER_envargs(Env Args) %4BEAMER_col(Col) %8BEAMER_extra(Extra)
#+PROPERTY: BEAMER_col_ALL 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0 :ETC


* foo

#+BEGIN_SRC python :exports code
  for x in range(100):
      print "x=%d , x^2=%d" % (x, x*x)
#+END_SRC
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


and I get a caleidoscope of colors.

The TeX FAQ has some details about where to get minted and its dependencies
(it requires an external Python script, called Pygments):
