Hrm. Don't think so. Any hypothetical Python-native macro
utility should be very tightly integrated such that it allows you
to create your own special-purpose dialect of the language
on a per-project basis if need be. One of the appeals of
utilities like this is to map domain-specific capabilities directly
onto a computer programming language. Tis one of the lasting
contributions of Lisp to the programming community, it is.
