non-Python code and non-code displays. There should be no blank
lines at the top or bottom of any \env{verbatim} display.
Longer displays of verbatim text may be included by storing the
example text in an external file containing only plain text. The
file may be included using the standard \macro{verbatiminput}
macro; this macro takes a single argument naming the file
containing the text. For example, to include the Python source
file \file{example.py}, use:
\begin{verbatim}
\verbatiminput{example.py}
\end{verbatim}
Use of \macro{verbatiminput} allows easier use of special editing
modes for the included file. The file should be placed in the
same directory as the \LaTeX{} files for the document.
The Python Documentation Special Interest Group has discussed a
number of approaches to creating pretty-printed code displays and
interactive sessions; see the Doc-SIG area on the Python Web site
