I wonder if it would be totally crazy to consider using reST as the native notebook format, or at least have it be optionally so. I know that one can already execute 'live' sphinx docs in html, which is super cool. But given that reST has support for input and output code blocks (which it can even doctest), I'd really like to basically edit in the notebook itself reST sources, with text cells being plain reST, input cells being code blocks and output being 'text' code blocks, as suggested here: http://groups.google.com/group/sphinx-dev/browse_thread/thread/ecbcea0ab4d1ca78/86e3da68e1576f7a I don't know enough about all the sphinx machinery yet to see if there are any fatal flaws in this idea, and given the amount of existing worksheets out there obviously such a change couldn't be done lightly. But I'm so happy with using sphinx more and more, that being able to simultaneously edit reST and execute code seems really appealing to me. Does this sound possible/reasonable/useful?
