[issue5364] documentation in epub format

Kristof Csillag added the comment: I have prepared a patch to build the 2.7 docs in EPUB format, too. (Since this was already done on Python 3; this is only a very simple backport of a few lines in a Makefile, a readme and a HTML download page.) -- keywords: +patch nosy: +csillag Added

Sandro Tosi added the comment: Hello James, please note that EPUB is already available for Python 3 documentation: http://docs.python.org/py3k/download.html . We will probably make it available also for 2.7 when I'll find the time to work on upgrading sphinx on 2.7 branch. -- nosy: +s

James Polley added the comment: It looks like the first release that had epub support was 1.0; docs.python.org is still using 0.6.7, according to the footer on the bottom of the page. I suspect that this is (A) pending the upgrade to 1.0.0, which is (B) more difficult than it sounds like, or

James Polley added the comment: So http://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx/issue/140/ has now been closed; sphinx happily builds epub. However, the python docs are still not available for download in epub format from http://docs.python.org/download.html, which was the original request in this

Keith Fahlgren added the comment: > I got the same impression: xhtml + extra markup for mobile readers. ePub is indeed based heavily on XHTML 1.1 and CSS and uses a fairly simple ZIP container. Having written DocBook->ePub tools, I'm happy to help anyone interested in doing rst2epub. -

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: A few days ago, Tim O'Reilly wrote a column in Forbes http://www.forbes.com/2009/02/22/kindle-oreilly-ebooks-technology-breakthroughs_oreilly.html promoting epub and noting that his computer book company is starting to use it. I got the same impression: xhtml

Georg Brandl added the comment: Well, the request is valid, so I'll leave this open here. Since the format seems to me to be nothing but XHTML with a bit of extra markup around it, it would be quite easy to write a builder for Sphinx (by copying from the HTML help one) to do it. Would you like

wrobell added the comment: probably sphinx/docutils "deserve" their own tickets, but appropriate tools support will not guarantee, that documentation in epub format is going to be published on http://docs.python.org/download.html if documentation won't be published in this format, then i s

Senthil added the comment: I got into thinking if sphinx-dev or docutils be the best place for this ticket? Python Documentation is nothing but ReStructured text and it is required to create a rst2epub that would convert restructured text to epub format. If you are already aware of any such to
