I didn't even know such a thing like literate programming existed. I wonder if IPython notebooks count as literate programming?

Yes, they do. They are not literate programming the way Knuth's CWEB does it (weaving mostly disjoint things together), but they are a good tool for LP.

It's not a million miles of what Knuth was talking about, I think he'd be pretty happy to call those kinds of notebooks literate programming.
