A PYTHON PREPROCESSOR

[Courageous]

I am considering writing a Python preproccesor,
and I'm wondering if prior work has been done,
and if there's any collective wisdom or thoughts
on the concept. I realize that the preprocessor
has to take into account whitespace, and I don't
feel this is a problem (I have implemented a
template processor in the past that both tracked
indentation level and affected it).

I'm curious what kind of features people would
like to see.

I'm favoring the use of the "at" sign (@) as a
token for preprocessor directives, as that appears
to be unused.
