Another way forward could be a preprocessor. All this can be done with a fairly simple script using parso.

If the op is interested I could whip out a prototype. The cool thing about parso is that it’s a round trip AST so it’s easy to perform refactorings or in this case preprocessing without affecting formatting or comments.
