nbconvert provides command line utilities to convert to and from IPython notebooks and standard formats:

• ReST
• Markdown
• HTML
• PDF
• Python script

As these tools mature, these utilities will be merged into IPython

The latest development version of doctest is required. This can be installed via

$ curl http://docutils.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/docutils/trunk/docutils/?view=tar > docutils.gz
$ pip install -U docutils.gz

For conversion to HTML, pygments is also required

$ pip install pygments

$ pip install nose
$ nosetests
