Comment #3 on issue 776 by gpermus: python script to get rid of extra  
whitespace and generate @menu in the docs
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=776

I think we should take it one step at a time -- first make a python script  
that suits
our needs, and then ask the texinfo people if they want to package that  
along with
their tarballs.

They may well say "no"; after all, makeinfo is in C (ick!), and texi2tml is  
in perl.
 If they integrate texi2html like they were IIRC planning, then they'd have  
a
relatively small project that used C, perl, and python.  I obviously can't  
speak for
them, but I'd be tempted to reject such contributions just for the amount  
of language
dependencies it added.

(granted, maybe this script should be done in perl, for later integration  
with
texinfo... but all the *lilypond* scripts are in python!)
