I use textmate, e-texteditor and eclipse the most. – Yousui Dec 21 '09 at 4:58

After pasting, a small "Paste Options" icon appears below the pasted text.

Click this icon and choose "Keep Source Formatting" :

If the source code does not need to be copied and pasted out of the presentation, a quick and dirty solution could be to simply take screenshots of the source code.

Pygments can format almost every format to rtf:

pygmentize -f rtf -o code.rtf code.py

Pasting from Eclipse should retain formatting if the app supports it. I know Word does... not sure about PPT.
