If it looks that little like Python, I'd say it really
is a different language, and you have no right to expect
to be able to use the Python compiler as-is to process
it.

Rather than twisting Python to make it possible to
abuse it even further, you'd be better off writing a
Breve compiler in Python that produces Python code
(or maybe even translates it directly to Python
bytecode).
