My view of this is that if you really want to do this, you're better off
inventing a separate language -- however similar to Python -- and using
a processor to turn that language into real Python, which can then be
interpreted.  In an interpreted language, especially one as dynamic as
Python, translation often strikes me as superior to incorporating
macros.
