Hi Yaroslav and Jean, Sorry for the slow answer: I just came out of a score of deadlines and took a break from my computer.
I personally believe that the IPython notebook, however great it might be, does not nullify the interest of pyreport. First, pyreport does not require any specific syntax or interface: it works on standard Python files. Second, it is very lightweight, whereas nowadays IPython is a biggish dependency. That said, I do way too many things, and I had decided that I stopped maintaining pyreport. It's a question of priorities, while it hurts me to see it die, I don't have time to maintain everything that I would like. Thus, I would be _very_ happy to see someone picking it up. It doesn't really need to be a fork in the sens that I am perfectly willing to give control of the github repo. The webpage is unfortunately hosted on my personal webpage, but I can assist in moving it to another location (I think that packages.python.org would be a good idea) and I can insert redirections on the current webpage. I would be thrilled to see this happening. I think that such a change of maintainer should happen before a Debian package is considered: in the current situation, I would not push people to use pyreport, as its future is uncertain. Thanks for the interest, Gael On Thu, Mar 01, 2012 at 11:47:41AM -0500, Yaroslav Halchenko wrote: > Hi Jean, Hi Gael, > I would recommend first to check with Gael (CCed) on what is his plans > toward pyreport... with the availability of ipython notebook I think he > might not be considering developing/maintaining pyreport any further. > Gael? > > Hi, > > I have been using pyreport for some time now and I would like it to be > > a part of Debian. > > As the official website says: > > "pyreport is a program that runs a python script and captures its > > output, compiling it to a pretty report in a pdf or an html file.
