Hi. Hmmm. That's a new thought. I never thought of using docstrip
with anything but LaTeX. It sounds like a rather primitive tool for
handling python code, and I would expect some serious trouble getting
sensible highlighting in vim/eclim (or most other editors for that 
matter). But I'll give it a thought. Thanks.

Hmmm. I wonder if I am every going to reach that stage :-)

If you use docstrip with python, what packages do you use to highlight
code and markup programming concepts (methods/classes/variables)?
If I may ask ...
