inline code format as in TeX StackExchange

Question

I'm trying to get an inline code format just like this this. This answer works but it's not near the format I'm looking for, and this answer gets a bit closer but it seems a too complex solution. A specific example of how I'm going to use it would be:

We can make this random variable $X\sim N(\mu,\sigma^{2})$ with this function my_normal_function(arg1, arg2, arg3) given that..

Any suggestions?

How about using tcolorbox? It provides support for \lstinline. Refer to the documentation for more details.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[listings]{tcolorbox}
\lstdefinestyle{inlinepy}{%
    language=python,
    basicstyle=\ttfamily,
    commentstyle=\color{green!60!black},
    keywordstyle=\color{blue}\bfseries,
    stringstyle=\color{red},
    keepspaces=true,
}
\DeclareTotalTCBox{\inlinepy}{sv}{verbatim}{\lstinline[style=inlinepy]|#2|}
\begin{document}
    \begin{itemize}
        \item Python strings: \inlinepy{name = "First name" + "Last name"}
        \item Comments: \inlinepy{theta_rad = theta_deg*3.14/180 # angle conversion to radians}
        \item Import packages: \inlinepy{import numpy as np}
    \end{itemize}
\end{document}
