It seems to me your brain is somewhat stuck on the use of macros. You're looking at the expansion of your macro and assuming that you'd have to write all that code by hand if you didn't have macros. You're not thinking about alternative approaches, which could just as well be used in Lisp as well as Python, that are just as compact yet don't make use of macros. Unless there's something very subtle that I'm missing (I can't claim to follow exactly what all the code you posted does in detail) I haven't seen anything that couldn't be done quite reasonably with an appropriate data structure and ordinary functions and methods operating on that data structure. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
