Some guys at PyAr_ are translating the `python tutorial`_ to spanish.

That tutorial, like all the new python docs, uses sphinx_.

Since sphinx is very popular_, I want rst2pdf_ to work as well as possible as Sphinx's PDF producer. So, two different things itching, I started scratching.

Well, progress has been made. While the sphinx changes currently reside only on my computer, I will publish them soon, and the rst2pdf changes are already committed.

Here's a sample_ to whet your appetite.
