Yes and no.  There are times when it's justified.  I ENTIRELY
agree, though, that many people who *think* that's what they
want to do simply don't understand how dynamic base Python is,
and therefore don't realize how much easier it can be to write
a single, unified application.

At this point, 'twould be appropriate to describe an instance
or two in which code generation is a good idea.  While I have
some, they're tedious to make clear.  Maybe I'll do so in a
follow-up ...
