I am considering teaching a beginning programming course using Python. I would like to prepare my class handouts in such a way that I can import the Python code from real ".py" files directly into the documents. This way I can run real unit tests on the code to confirm that they work as expected.
I am considering using LaTeX to write the handouts and then converting them to PDF files. I will probably use a Makefile to convert the LaTeX with embedded Python code into the PDF files using pdflatex. I will probably organize my directory structure into sub-directories py-src, py-test, doc-src, and doc-dist. I will be starting out using Windows Vista/cygwin and hopefully switch to a Macbook this summer. Any thoughts? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
