Markdown for Reproducible Research in Python
<p>I would like to know whether there is something equivalent to R-markdown in Python which can help me do reproducible research.</p>

<p><strong>Please note: I'm not interested in IPython Notebooks as an answer</strong>. </p>

<p>I want to have the syntactic joy of r-markdown with code in python. I know that one can supply <code>engine="python"</code> in r-markdown and get going but the problem comes when you want to include plots produced using matplotlib in the reproducible doc by simply writing <code>plt.show()</code> where <code>plt</code> is alias to <code>matplotlib.pyplot</code>. </p>

<p>Do you know about any such modules / tools in python which can help me achieve this? I want to use such tools with Spyder / IntelliJ.</p>

<p>I would also like the option similar to <code>echo=FALSE</code> to be present in such a tool.</p>

<p>If no such project exists, then do you guys know about someone / some organization who are working on such a thing.</p>
