Indeed, consistency is definitely what we don't have.  It would be very
interesting, though, if you could survey the various ways we have to
build *Python* functions from strings -- your current docs show examples
producing C, LLVM or Makefile code.  Producing Python comes with its own
problems.  Basically, grep for "exec" in the PyPy sources, for example in:

  http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/dist/pypy/objspace/std/multimethod.py
  http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/dist/pypy/rpython/rtuple.py

as well as (I almost don't dare pointing you there :-)

  http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/dist/pypy/interpreter/gateway.py


A bientot,

Armin
