The word "metaprogramming" has many meanings. It covers code generation, as you say, but also a lots of other techniques; for instance you do metaprogramming with decorators when write functions operating over functions, or with metaclasses when you write classes operating over classes. You should clarify what you are interested in. For instance, are you interested in metaprogramming in Python only or you want a more general introduction? Have you read the Wikipedia entry? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaprogramming -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
