I want to include some Python code into LaTex document, so I "imported" the listings package with

\usepackage{listings}

and

\lstdefinelanguage{Python}{
 keywords={typeof, null, catch, switch, in, int, str, float, self},
 keywordstyle=\color{ForestGreen}\bfseries,
 ndkeywords={boolean, throw, import},
 ndkeywords={return, class, if ,elif, endif, while, do, else, True, False , catch, def},
 ndkeywordstyle=\color{BrickRed}\bfseries,
 identifierstyle=\color{black},
 sensitive=false,
 comment=[l]{#},
 morecomment=[s]{/*}{*/},
 commentstyle=\color{purple}\ttfamily,
 stringstyle=\color{red}\ttfamily,
}

when compiling, I get:

 Illegal parameter number in definition oof \lstlang@python$ }

I googled, but I didn't understood how to work the problem out. it speaks about a command or something similar.

In the LaTeX source you posted, you have an error at:

comment=[l]{#},

Change this to:

comment=[l]{\#},

and it compiles for me.

    Yes, it works to me too. Last question, I indicated keywords. How to get them colored? I just see black line of code, without no color

I found the following in the Reference Guide of the listings package documentation:

4.1 How to read the reference

...

Regarding the parameters, please keep in mind the following:

...

5.If you want to enter one of the special characters {}#%\, this character must be escaped with a backslash. This means that you must write } for the single character ‘right brace’—but of course not for the closing paramater character.

and also in the following section there is a note

4.18 Language definitions

...

... Note: If you want to enter \, {, }, %, # or & as (part of ) an argument to the keywords below, you must do it with a preceding backslash!
