Georg> So, that's not really a concern of mine ;)

You must realize that people will use the core tools to create documentation for third party packages which aren't in the core. If you replace LaTeX with something else I think you need to keep math in mind whether it's used in the core documentation or not.

I disagree. The documentation infrastructure of Python should only consider the needs of Python itself. If other people can use that infrastructure for other purposes, fine - if they find that it does not meet their needs, they have to look elsewhere.

We are developing a programming language here, not a typesetting system.

Regards, Martin
