I implemented (a subset of) the RoboHelp API in Python, and wrote 
wrapper classes to make it simple for our Python-based applications to 
call it. This isn't exactly "innovative", as it's been done before in 
other programming languages. But it may be "breaking new ground", as I 
couldn't find anybody else who'd done it in Python. It was a bit of a 
risk for me to take on, as I'm not a professional programmer. However, 
it has been well-received by the programmers here, who are delighted 
that they don't have to worry about coding the help buttons.
