Python doesn't support macros. This same question was raised before in
slightly different ways, and the historical answer seems to be that
macros are not in the plans, and that there are better ways to solve
problems than with macros. In fact, Python is *very* flexible, and
allows the clear expression of several interesting ideas and paradigms
without the need for macros. Could you share more information about
why do you think macros are the best solution for your problem?
