[Python-Dev] rest2latex - was: Re: Raising objections

[engelbert.gruber at ssg.co.at]

i commited mkpydoc to docutils/sandbox/pydoc-writer with some small 
modifications

   - Patch for python 2.3.
   - Filenames from command line.
   - Guard definition of ``locallinewidth`` against redefinition.
   - latex needs definition of ``locallinewidth``.

1. there isnt a copyright in mkpydoc.py, could everybody involved agree on
    PD so it can go into docutils.
2. edloper/docpy is another possibility
3. as is http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/rstpythonlatex_intro.html
4. AND

* An unpatched latex2html is unable to handle ``longtable`` options.
   Maybe remove the ``[c]`` and put the longtable into a center
   environment, but python doc uses ``tablei`` and `` longtablei``.
* (th) the table in the ctypes tutorial has a totally different look than
   the other tables in the docs.  Compare
   `ctypes <http://docs.python.org/dev/lib/ctypes-simple-data-types.html>`_
   with `std pydoc <http://docs.python.org/dev/lib/module-struct.html>`__ .

   see previous *
* (th) feature request: it would be very nice if it were possible to
   generate links into the index for functions and types from the rest sources.
* Document ``markup.py`` and ``missing.py``.
* Title, author, ... are hardcoded.

and i am on workshop next week, so please be patient and i dont know if 
this will ever work.
