This directory contains the LaTeX source to the Python documentation.
It is not all finished, but good enough to get you started.
The following are the LaTeX source files:
tut.tex The tutorial
lib.tex, lib[1-5].tex The library reference
ref.tex The reference manual
qua.tex, quabib.bib Article published in CWI Quarterly
All except qua.tex use the style option file "myformat.sty". This
contains some macro definitions and sets style parameters. You can
easily edit it to change the paper size (the default is European
paper, "A4": 21 x 29.7 cm).
There's a Makefile to call latex and other utilities (makeindex and
bibtex) in the right order and the right number of times. This will
produce dvi files for each document made; to preview them, use xdvi.
Printing depends on local conventions; at my site, I use dvips and
lpr. For example:
make ref # creates ref.dvi
xdvi ref # preview it
dvips -Ppsc ref | lpr -Ppsc # print it on printer "psc".
