If it's such a big hairy deal, just recompile a copy of the C Pre Processor to use something other then #, and hook it up to your python scripts in a pipe line from a shell wrapper.
Personally, I'd rather have Lisps lambda or perls sub then Cs preprocessor, and even in those cases, Python suffices perfectly fine ;). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
