I keep forgetting about this interesting gem of a feature in org-mode code blocks. You can put references to specific lines of code outside the block! http://orgmode.org/manual/Literal-examples.html#Literal-examples

The following code block has some references in it that we can refer to later:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp -n -r
(save-excursion (sc)
  (goto-char (point-min))) (jump)
#+END_SRC

1: (save-excursion
2:   (goto-char (point-min)))

In line

(sc)

(jump)

To make this work with python we have to make a slight change to the reference format in the header.

#+BEGIN_SRC python -n -r -l "#(ref:%s)"
for i in range(5):                # (for)
    print i                       # (body)
#+END_SRC

1: for i in range(5):
2:     print i

0
1
2
3
4

In line

(for)

(body)
