Hi Ben, My idea was to just make the notebook the “example”. But nbconvert-ing the notebook makes static images that then need to be checked into the repository, and take space, so I wasn’t sure how desirable that was.
It would be fun to have the documentation script accept ipython notebooks and run nbconvert on them. Being able to save state as you work through examples is quite nice, versus creating five or six standalone *.py files that then get run at build time. Of course you are adding a dependency to anyone who has wants to build the docs.
