A very basic python script to generate ToC from markdown file. Only works for simple cases and 2 level of titles (# and ##).

generate_toc_from_md.py

def generate_link(title):
	return "[" + title + "](#" + title.lower().replace(' ', '-') + ")"

print ("# Table Of Content")
with open("README.md", 'r') as infile:
	for line in infile:
		
		line = line.strip()
		
		if line.startswith('## '):
			print ("  - " + generate_link(line[3:]))
		
		elif line.startswith('# '):
			print ("- " + generate_link(line[2:]))
