Hello, I use asciidoc in wiki-like fashion. I wanted something simple as a personal wiki - I don't need neither collaborative features of wiki nor revision control ( I use subversion for that ). After trying several wiki engines and web frameworks I ended up with a simple webpy application similar to http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2006/01/06/a-simple-wiki-with-webpy/ . Instead of markdown in that example I use asciidoc and it works very well so far.
The only hack was to link /usr/bin/asciidoc to asciidoc.py in the directory of web.py application. Now I can simply "import asciidoc" and use it as a python module, I call for example "asciidoc.asciidoc('xhtml11', 'article', (), page, '<stdout>', ())" from my python code and display the result as a web page. This means, that I have directory full of my text documents in asciidoc format, and I can view them on-the-fly as xhtml in my web browser.
