Pavel, You're certainly right,, but what we are looking at (and hoping to have implemented in asciidoc) is a module that can be loaded (like your asciidoc.py). But instead of having an interface to write it out, we'd like to be able to provide a function the input, and get the output back. So that you don't have to write it to disk, but can send it to the web-browser. It cannot be hard to have asciidoc provide such an interface by default.
