Hi,

I'm looking at using Sphinx to document example (Python) code. There are a 
couple obvious ways to do this:

1. Copy-and-paste code snippets from the example into code blocks, and 
write some text around the snippets
2. Use docstrings / autodoc in the code
3. Use literalinclude

With #1, you sacrifice maintainability. #2 is really designed for 
documenting APIs. #3 doesn't actually parse anything, so if you want to use 
RST in your comments, you're stuck. Here's a short code snippet to 
illustrate what I mean:

    def on_connection_init(self, event):
        conn = event.connection
        conn.hostname = self.host

        # Every session or link could have their own handler(s) if we
        # wanted simply by setting the "handler" slot on the
        # given session or link.
        ssn = conn.session()

        # If a link doesn't have an event handler, the events go to
        # its parent session. If the session doesn't have a handler
        # the events go to its parent connection. If the connection
        # doesn't have a handler, the events go to the reactor.
        snd = ssn.sender("sender")
        conn.open()
        ssn.open()
        snd.open()

Are there any other approaches that I should consider?

Thanks!
