Scientific reports with embedded python computations with reST, LaTeX or markdown
Project description
About Pweave
Pweave is a scientific report generator and a literate programming tool for Python. Pweave can capture the results and plots from data analysis and works well with NumPy, SciPy and matplotlib. It is able to run python code from source document and include the results and capture matplotlib plots in the output.
It can produce reST, Sphinx, Latex, HTML and markdown (pandoc and leanpub) output from several input formats.
Noweb uses noweb syntax for separating code from documentation.
Markdown. Run code from markdown code blocks.
Script. Python script with special markup in comments.
Pweave is good for creating reports, tutorials, presentations etc. with embedded python code It can also be used to make websites together with e.g. Sphinx or rest2web.
Features:
Python 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5 compatibility
Execute python code in the chunks and capture input and output to a report.
Use hidden code chunks, i.e. code is executed, but not printed in the output file.
Capture matplotlib graphics.
Evaluate inline code in documentation chunks marked using <% %> and <%= %>.
Cache all code and results from previous runs for fast report generation when you are only working with documentation. Inline code will be hidden in documentation mode.
Supports reST, LaTeX, HTML or markdown for document chunks
Publish reports from Python scipts. Similar to R markdown.
Run from command line or interpreter.
Support also for Octave and Matlab code.
Install
Note: pip install fails in Python 3 due to a bug in pip. You’ll need to use one of the other options.
From PyPi:
pip install --upgrade Pweave
or:
easy_install -U Pweave
with conda:
conda config --add channels mpastell conda install pweave
