rst2ipynb: Convert reStructuredText files to Jupyter notebooks#

Description#

The rst2pynb program converts a standalone reStructuredText file to a Jupyter notebook file.

This is currently achieved by converting to markdown with pandoc and then to Jupyter notebook using notedown, plus some configuration and tweaks.

Special Update/Build Instructions#

Fetch tarball from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rst2ipynb/

As it is written in Haskell, pandoc must be installed from the distro.

The main rationale for having a notedown package in Sage (rather than just let pip fetch it) is that the version on pipy (1.5.0, 2015-10-07) is outdated and lacks important features / fixes for us.

Equivalent System Packages#

See https://repology.org/project/python:rst2ipynb/versions

However, these system packages will not be used for building Sage because spkg-configure.m4 has not been written for this package; see github issue #27330 for more information.
