    Its exactly it. The more I think about it the more I think that the
good way to do this is to have a macro {pyreport;foo.py} that would run
foo.py throught pyreport and return rest2web friendly rest syntax. Thus
pyreport would be embedded in rest2web. Hum that looks like a promising
idea and would profit a to rest2web, although it does add features that
intersect with the ability rest2web has to embed python code in a page.

    I know what you mean. Well I'll add this to my todo list and see if
I get time to do this.

    Well it seems the easiest way to do it, so as not to both spend a

    Sure. Hum, it reminds me that I still haven't found a way of passing
a relative path to macros like colorize. Currently I have=20
"{colorize;/home/varoquau/www/src/computers/pyreport/latex.py}" in my
rest file, and that is very ugly. What is the correct way of doing this
(either I am missing something obvious, or it doesn't work on my system).
