It is not all finished, but good enough to get you started.
Python main documentation -- in LaTeX
-------------------------------------
This directory contains the LaTeX sources to the Python documentation
and a published article about Python.
The following are the LaTeX source files:

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).
contains some macro definitions and sets some style parameters.
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:
All documents are set up for European paper size ("A4": 21 x 29.7 cm)
by default. To use US paper, remove the "a4wide" style option from
the \documentstyle options list in the first line of the main .tex
files (you may want to fiddle with the lay-out parameters, since the
default format uses rather wide margins to my taste).
You need the makeindex utility to produce the index for ref.tex
lib.tex; you need bibtex to produce the references list for qua.tex.

make ref # creates ref.dvi
xdvi ref # preview it
dvips -Ppsc ref | lpr -Ppsc # print it on printer "psc".
If you don't have latex, you can ftp the pre-formatted PosytScript
versions of the documents; see "../misc/FTP" for information about
ftp-ing Python files.
