Presentation API Proposal

cc: @jackparmer @cldougl @chriddyp

Presentation API Proposal - a wrapper that is built similarly to the Dashboard one. -add a presentations.py file in plotly/api/v2/ for requests (https://api.plot.ly/v2/spectacle-presentations) -make a presentations_objs file or something with a similar title -add py.presentations_ops class to py

For visual feedback, Jack suggested something that looks like this: http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/ioslides_presentation_format.html and only supporting a few layouts for a first pass.

For tests, as with Dashboards, letting the backend yell at me if the JSON of the presentation is bad seems good enough for the first pass.

Any other suggestions? 😄

@Kully so maybe the workflow is something like this?

import plotly.presentation_objs as prez
import plotly.plotly as py

markdown_string = '''
# Title

---

# Agenda

1. Introduction
2. Deep-dive
3. ...

---

# Introduction
'''

my_presentation = prez.Presentation( markdown_string, theme='moods' )

url = py.presentation_ops.upload(my_presentation, 'My First Presentation with Python')

I mainly want to switch because the default styling looks way better, and I’m no CSS wizard.

@cpsievert This seems to be the case for a lot of folks. We should ship this with a few default themes available, maybe based in these ones? Any others?
