Now, I would have said that using C++ namespaces was a good idea and
perhaps it might be motivation to replace the MACROs by something more
useful,

I use a number of such languages and it isn't all that hard to mix
them with C++ (in sme cases, I'd extend them using C++ code, for the
sake of performance).  In the case of Python, for example, there is a
boost library designed specifically for that purpose.  From my
perspective, that is not a big problem.  Rather, it is just one of
countless things I routinely have to deal with: just the cost of
getting things done.
