I had similar questions and I decided that what I really needed for my app was a preprocessor. I looked around and found what I thought to be really cool: http://nedbatchelder.com/code/cog It's a preprocessor written in python which allows you to embed python code (called cogs) in your python such that the cogs execute and are replaced by what they output. I have print statements (effectively) which produce either output or nothing, depending on what I pass from the Makefile. The files that I write are called .cog.py and when I execute make, it produces .py files as output. It's a hugely useful thing to have available. The only slight disadvantage is that you have to (remember to) run make if you change your .cog.py files before retrying something. -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.
