Hi everyone, LaTeX is (rightfully so, IMHO) the standard for scientific publishing, in particular for books if there is any math context. To automate the production of PDFs with up-to-date code examples, sample outputs and figures (that is sometimes more difficult) you can use make. Appropriate rules create output such that myscript.py produces myscript.out whenever myscript.py is changed.
Both code and output can be incorporated and pretty-printed using the listings package; the only bummer is that you have to reference line numbers. It would be nice if you could reference particular pieces more easily; Knuth's original programming tools seemed not that much more helpful for the lots of theory and small sample programs and their output type publications. I use pyexpect to capture the output of an interactive session given some commands a user would type in a file. I just stumbled over http://starship.python.net/crew/bhoel/PyLaTeX-0.2/README.html which is another way to have Python code in LaTeX.
