Automated documentation code testing - part 2

Thanks to Crunchy's simple plugin architecture, after only a few hours of coding the automated documentation testing (for html files) described here has been implemented (the "first approach" described, that is.) It will be part of the next Crunchy release. In theory, code samples for a complete book could be all tested at the click of a button, provided that the book is available as an html document. The next step will be to define a few new directives so that reStructuredText documents can be used as well.

Now, while I have a few sample test files, it would be nice is to find someone who has a real life document with embedded Python code samples as a test user...
