Cannot get 'pygmentize' to work correctly on mac

Question

I am using TeXworks on Mac osX 10.7.5 and I'm trying to compile some python code within my tex file but with limited success.

My tex file looks like:

\documentclass[12pt,A4]{article}
\usepackage{minted}
\begin{document}

\begin{minted}{python}

    def __init__(self, x, y): 
        self.x=x
        self.y=y

\end{minted}

\end{document}

When I run the tex file with the command:

pdflatex --shell-escape path.tex

I get the following error:

! Package minted Error: You must have `pygmentize' installed to use this packag
e.

The strange thing is, when I run the command, then type "quit". The PDF is produced as expected but how can I get it to produce the file without the error?

I have installed the latest version of minted and pygments. The terminal finds pygmentize:

ucbthsa-2:bin ucbthsa$ which pygmentize
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/pygmentize

I have had a look at another similar question but it has not helped

My system says /usr/local/bin/pygmentize; how did you install it? — egreg, Feb 10 '14 at 14:25

On none of my machines I have Python as a framework; can you try moving /Library/... later in $PATH? — egreg, Feb 10 '14 at 14:41
Tried it and it worked. Not sure why though. Thanks for your help — Harpalss, Feb 10 '14 at 16:21
You might try adding that path to the list in TeXworks: in Preferences, Typesetting tab, you find a list; add /Library/... at the top and see if it works — egreg, Feb 10 '14 at 16:29

Recently I had the same problem. The issue was that TeXworks has different PATH environment from your terminal. My solution was to create a symbolic link to pygmentize from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin/pygmentize to /usr/local/bin.
