But on larger projects where some people are not emacs users, it may not be feasible for the master file to be an org-mode file. Do you have any suggestions on using literate programming techniques when the source code must be in a .py file? One thing I have tried is switching to org-mode when I want to write comments, create links, etc. and do that in org-mode and then switch back to python mode. This actually works reasonably well but it's annoying to switch modess. Any better ideas? -- Thanks, -I.S.
