[issue5364] documentation in epub format

New submission from wrobell : python documentation can be downloaded in pdf format (a4, us letter), html and text plain. they are useful for printing and computer based viewing, but not so good to read on ebook hardware/software (i.e. sony prs-{505,700} or stanza ebook reader). it would be nice

Senthil added the comment: I got into thinking if sphinx-dev or docutils be the best place for this ticket? Python Documentation is nothing but ReStructured text and it is required to create a rst2epub that would convert restructured text to epub format. If you are already aware of any such to

[issue4565] Rewrite the IO stack in C

Antoine Pitrou added the comment: I just took a quick look at Lib/abc.py and there's no way *I*'ll reimplement it in C :) The only workable approach would be: 1. rename the current would-be ABCs (IOBase, RawIOBase, etc.) with a leading underscore (_IOBase, _RawIOBase, etc.) 2. call abc.ABCMeta(
