text/plain PEPs conversion in reStructuredText format
by Manlio Perillo Aug. 13, 2007

Aug. 13, 2007

Hi. I have written a simple module for converting PEPs from text/plain format to text/x-rst format. The code is very simple, and it converts the footnotes too. At the moment the pep-000 is not yet converted, but i'm working on it. I'm planning to add this pep_parser module to the new build system I'm working on for python.it. If anyone is interested let me know. P.S: i'm having problems with the version of docutils supplied with Debian Etch. Should I just use a recent version, or pep2pyramid uses a modified version?

Hi. I have another question: what's the use of the function trim_nav_links? It is not clear for me. I have tried to remove it, and the result of the build is the same. Thanks Manlio Perillo

About the new build system

Hi. I'm the maintainer of the python.it web site. We are using a modified version of ht2html, but it has many problems. I'm planning to update the software but it seems that the new build system for python.org has all the features I need. So I would like to contribute to the development, trying (if possibile) to write a reusable core. The current version, in fact, is strictly related to the python.org site. I can adapt the software for python.it, but I think that having the possibility to work on a common piece of software is the best solution. Thanks Manlio Perillo
