This is very reminescent of Knuth's literate programming concept. I'd be curious to see what you think of Leo, the Python based outliner/editor. I don't use it myself, as I find it to be too much of a barrier between my brain and my code ;-) > Part of the problem there is of course making one's code worthy.

You made me curious, and I had to see what you meant. I only looked at the vpyframe.py file. I think I understand one thing: you use "inconsistent" indentation (mostly 3 spaces, a few times 4 spaces or 5 spaces. Python, being Python, makes the structure of your code understandable. However, as I use indentation guides set at 4 spaces in my editor, your indentation choices make it a bit more difficult for _me_ to read.
