DESCRIPTION

The scitools script takes a command and runs a corresponding utility. The available
commands are listed below.

corresponding interactive Python shell session.

floatdiff

numbers. Used in [1].

with another.

subst Script for subsituting a phrase by another in a set of files. Accepts regular
expressions. Treated in [1].

replace
Script for subsituting a phrase by another in a set of files. Does not use regular
expressions, just plain text (well suited for substituting text with much use of
backslashes, curly braces, and other special characters in regular expressions
(e.g., LaTeX text).

movie Script for creating a movie file from a sequence of image files (frames). By
default an HTML file for displaying the image (PNG) files are made.

pyreport
Processes a Python script and pretty prints the results using LateX. If the script
uses show() commands (from scitools.easyviz) they are caught by pyreport and the
resulting graphs are inserted in the output pdf. Comments lines starting with "#!"
are interpreted as rst lines and pretty printed accordingly in the pdf.
