Sphinx tip: mailhtml
I often find that I want to email around a doc I’ve put together with sphinx (I often use the *diag or graphviz extensions). Sadly, the world hasn’t embraced the obvious way of supporting this via ePub [1] readers everwhere. What I want is plain html output, with nothing fancy. There’s probably a style out there, but I just add the following target to the Makefile generated by sphinx-quickstart:
mailhtml:
$(SPHINXBUILD) -b singlehtml -D html_theme=epub $(ALLSPHINXOPTS) $(BUILDDIR)/singlehtml
@echo
@echo "Build finished. The HTML page is in $(BUILDDIR)/singlehtml."

Py Bay 2016 - a First Report
PyBay held their first local Python conference this last weekend (Friday, August 19 through Sunday, August 21). What a great event! I just wanted to get down some first impressions - I hope to do more after the slides and videos are up.
