Looks like the site is down -- I couldn't seem to find a cached version anywhere. Here's a discussion on reddit about PyPedia from six months ago posted by the creator of PyPedia: - http://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/qq76y/pypedia_a_pyth...

Here is a presentation from the author: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5548517/PyPedia.pdf.

It's not from six months ago. At the time of writing this comment it's only about 8 hours.

Reading is hard -- I stand corrected

Here's pretty much the same idea for Scheme instead of Python, which I wrote back in 2005, temporarily up again: http://wry.me:8080

An example of what I wanted to do with it: http://wry.me:8080/page/Partial%20Evaluation (Only the early bits are working.)

Its own source as wiki pages: http://wry.me:8080/page/Underlying%20Source%20Code

Differences I noticed: in my system a page implements a module instead of a function. Code, evaluations, and commentary are mixed in a literate-programming style. Anyone can edit existing code, with a branching version control system for backup (which, er, I never hooked the UI into). It's awfully hacky. Maybe some of these ideas could influence this newer wiki, though.

(Edit: fixed links, added differences.)

Also http://sourceforge.net/projects/skwiki/ by Luke Gorrie, a Scheme wiki in Erlang. (It's even older.)
