The scitools script takes a command and runs a corresponding utility. The available commands are listed below.
file2interactive

floatdiff

Utility for turning a set of PostScript files into an MPEG movie, using mpeg_encode or ppmtompeg.

replace
Script for subsituting a phrase by another in a set of files. Does not use regular expressions, just plain text (well suited for 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) files are made.
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.
