Getting started

You use Python Handout as a library inside a normal Python program:

  1. Install via pip3 install -U handout.
  2. Run your script via python3 script.py. (You can start with examples/start.py from the repository.)
  3. Open output/index.html in your browser to view the result.
  4. Iterate and refresh your browser.

Features

Create the handout via doc = handout.Handout(outdir) to access these features:

Add Markdown text as triple-quote comments. """Markdown text"""
Add text via print() syntax. doc.add_text('text:', variable)
Add image from array or url. doc.add_image(image, 'png', width=1)
Add video from array or url. doc.add_video(video, 'gif', fps=30, width=1)
Add matplotlib figure. doc.add_figure(fig, width=1)
Add custom HTML. doc.add_html(string)
