@mrtns, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each of these options? Trying to chose one of these to use for my coding...

New python option:

Pandoctools: Profile manager of text processing pipelines (uses Pandoc filters and any text CLI filters). Convenient and easily tweakable Atom+Markdown+Pandoc+Jupyter experience (can export to ipynb).

https://github.com/driusan/lmt is a straightforward tool for detangling code blocks from a markdown file. I've been using it in a pre-commit hook.
