In my spare time (a couple of hours per weekend...!) I am implementing calcal, a Python version of calendrica-3.0.cl, the Common Lisp implementation of the calendars from N. Dershowitz, E. M. Reingold Calendrical Calculations, 3rd Edition. (In case you are interested you can find a preview in my google page.)
At some point I decided to go Literate [Programming] using noweb. This is an experiment in the experiment but so far it has been a good choice because I can define all I need in the same place and generate documentation, source code (Python, shell scripts ...) from the same source.
I also found something interesting (on a now disappeared blog ttp://usefreetools.blogspot.com): executing Python from within LaTex! I could use it to avoid to hardcode results in my doc and just calculate them on the fly...
The same blog was showing how to build LaTeX docs using SCons: I will defenitly use it; my Makefile isn't that great nor easy to mantain.
