sphinx-autorun 1.1.1

Sphinx extension autorun

sphinx-autorun is an extension for Sphinx that can execute the code from a runblock directive and attach the output of the execution to the document.

For example:

.. runblock:: pycon

    >>> for i in range(5):
    ...    print i

Produces:

>>> for i in range(5):
...    print i
1
2
3
4
5

Another example:

.. runblock:: console

    $ date

Produces:

$ date
Thu  4 Mar 2010 22:56:49 EST

Currently autorun supports pycon and console languages. It’s also possible to configure autorun (from conf.py) to run other languages.

Installation

Installing via pip (recommended):

$ pip install sphinx-autorun

Install from source:

$ git clone [e-mail]:hobarrera/sphinx-autorun.git
$ python setup.py install

To enable autorun add ‘sphinx_autorun’ to the extension list in conf.py:

extensions.append('sphinx_autorun')

The documentation is in the doc/ folder.

About this fork

sphinx-contrib/autorun was abandoned and broken for several months. Since it did not even work, this fork was created as a continuation of it with mostly critical fixes.
