Does it really need to be in Python?  There are probably
dozens of free and adequate macro preprocessors out there
already.

(You might also want to clarify what you mean by "parse"
in this case... do you mean actually running the whole
preprocessor over an input file and expanding all macros,
or do you mean something else?)
