4 `Literate Programming`_ with reStructuredText_
8 The idea is that you do not document programs (after the fact), but
9 write documents that *contain* the programs.
14 PyLit (Python Literate) provides a plain but efficient tool for
15 literate programming: a `bidirectional text/code converter`.
18 As `PyLit` is a pure Python module, installation is straightforward:
19 Put `pylit.py`_ in Python's `Module Search Path`_.
21 .. _pylit.py: http://github.com/gmilde/PyLit/raw/master/pylit.py
24 See http://pylit.berlios.de
26 .. note:: The previous host of the PyLit project, berlios.de will close at
27 the end of 2011. For the transition period, some links might not work.
