I've been starting to take a literate programming approach using org-mode for school assignments. However a lot of assignments require working in a group with other students who typically don't have emacs/org-mode experience.

The only solution I can think of so far is to create an 'id' for each section in my source code and use the search link method here to link my org file to each section. For example:

code.py

# Section1

code.org

* [[file:code.py::Section1][Section 1]]

The biggest issue I see with this is others won't benefit from the information in my org file.

I'm hoping for advice on either:

  • How best to implement a system using links as described above
  • A different approach others have used to solve the same issue

    IPython seems to have a lower barrier of entry. You can interface to the notebook with ein: github.com/tkf/emacs-ipython-notebook – mankoff Mar 27 '17 at 1:26
  • That could work, my first hesitation would be that IPython doesn't do well with Git but I guess you can export the code and commit that as well to get a good idea of what's changed. Ideally I'd like to keep things in org-mode but I'll look into ein, thanks – kfoley Mar 27 '17 at 1:40
