Sphinx also has rst2pdf; and creates latex, too.

I just wanted to make sure that we don't neglect Sphinx, which has a
lot of traction among Pythonistas. We'll find out along the journey
for which purposes LyX resp. Sphinx are the best match.
Personally I'm not very fond of reading PDF on-screen (it breaks the
flow when browsing a web site and you have to open a plugin or another
program to read the contents of a .pdf document). I just noticed that
LyX has some converter to HTML, too. I'll try that out sometime, too.

Cheers,

Roger
