[...] Many thanks for the informative posts and discussion. It does seem that sphinx is actually getting closer and closer to what at least we in ipython will need for solid rest-based latex export of computational sessions. For those who may be curious, there are already users 'publishing' from ipython notebooks, in the form of blog posts: http://lighthouseinthesky.blogspot.com/2011/10/curve-fitting-part-5-pymc.html Unfortunately right now that requires manual cleanup of the html/CSS, so we'd like to make it more user-friendly. But the real goal in the long term is to at least narrow the gap between the environment you work in to obtain your results, and what you write up as a final paper. There is enough touchup involved in a paper that the final form will probably always be something edited in TeX/LyX/etc, but hopefully that will be a document that can be started from a closely related, and otherwise scientifically equivalent, executable session. Then you could supply, as part of your supplementary materials, this notebook. There are obviously issues with how to expose your data, etc, that are non-trivial and the subject of much current discussion at journal editorial boards, funding agencies and research centers, but at least I think this can be a contribution in the right direction.
