- replace
- Script for subsituting a phrase by another in a set of

substituting text with much use of backslashes, curly braces, and other
special characters in regular expressions (e.g., LaTeX text).
- movie
- Script for creating a movie file from a sequence of image
files (frames). By default an HTML file for displaying the image (PNG)

- pyreport
- Processes a Python script and pretty prints the results
using LateX. If the script uses show() commands (from scitools.easyviz)
they are caught by pyreport and the resulting graphs are inserted in the
output pdf. Comments lines starting with "#!" are interpreted as
rst lines and pretty printed accordingly in the pdf.
