Python framework for making slides

Elsie

Elsie is a framework for making slides in Python.

Full demonstration:

• Result: example.pdf
• Source code: example.py

Minimal example:

import elsie

@elsie.slide()
def hello(slide):
    slide.text("Hello world!")

elsie.render()  # Creates file 'slides.pdf'

Requirements

• Python 3.4 or newer
• Inkscape (Elsie uses Inkscape in the background, you do not have to know how to use it.)
• (Optional for LaTeX support): pdflatex, pdf2svg

PIP Installation

pip3 install elsie

Note: This does not install Inkscape, you have to do it manually.
