It lets you produce quite sophisticated -output, but the DTD will undoubtedly evolve and change. -However, I want people to be able to use it this summer so am -releasing now. - -It is part of the ReportLab distribution; if you have managed -to run the ReportLab tests, and have installed the Python -Imaging Library, usage should be straightforward. PIL is not -required to make slides, but the demo will have a few blanks if -you omit it. - -To use, cd to the pythonpoint directory and execute: - pythonpoint.py pythonpoint.xml -This will create pythonpoint.pdf, which is your manual. - -You can also try 'monterey.xml', which is a talk I gave -at the O'Reilly Open Source conference in Monterey -in summer 1999. - -We have issues to resolve over module load paths; -the easiest solution for now is to put the PythonPoint -directory on your path; work in a new directory; -and explicitly include the paths to any custom shapes, -and style sheets you use. - -- Andy Robinson, 6 April 2000
