I am also interested in better ways to produce PDF from Sphinx.
The "Python 3 Patterns & Idioms" book will be written in Sphinx, and if it
could go to camera-ready copy directly, rather than having to convert it to
something else first, that could greatly improve the book process,
especially for translations to other languages (I'm envisioning Python user
groups in other countries doing translations and creating print-on-demand
books to raise money for their user groups, or something like that).
