[SciPy-Dev] ipython notebook for docs/examples

[Jacob VanderPlas]

Hi Alex,
At the ipython/scikit-learn sprint after PyCon this spring there were 
some people taking a look at this.  I'm not sure what progress was made, 
but people were considering creating an ipython plugin for sphinx, so 
that sphinx docs could be exported to ipython notebooks just like they 
can now be exported to html or pdf.  Then in the sphinx build, each page 
of the documentation could automatically include a link to an associated 
ipython notebook.

Perhaps someone else can give an update about any progress that's been 
made in this area: I agree that it could be a very useful feature in the 
documentation of a lot of python projects
