MacroPy is an implementation of Macros in the Python Programming Language.
MacroPy provides a mechanism for user-defined functions (macros) to perform
transformations on the abstract syntax tree(AST) of Python code at module
import time. This is an easy way to modify the semantics of a python program

Python like you've never seen before
------------------------------------

MacroPy allows you to create constructs which are impossible to have in normal
python code, such as:

Tracing
```````
.. code:: python

    with trace:
        sum([x + 5 for x in range(3)])

    # sum([x + 5 for x in range(3)])
    # range(3) -> [0, 1, 2]
    # x + 5 -> 5
    # x + 5 -> 6
    # x + 5 -> 7
    # [x + 5 for x in range(3)] -> [5, 6, 7]
    # sum([x + 5 for x in range(3)]) -> 18

Quick Lambdas
`````````````

.. code:: python

    print map(f[_[0]], ['omg', 'wtf', 'bbq'])
    # ['o', 'w', 'b']

    print reduce(f[_ + _], ['omg', 'wtf', 'bbq'])
    # 'omgwtfbbq

Case Classes
````````````

.. code:: python

    @case
    class Point(x, y): pass

    p = Point(1, 2)

    print str(p)    #Point(1, 2)
    print p.x       #1
    print p.y       #2
    print Point(1, 2) == Point(1, 2) # True

And more! All this runs perfectly on vanilla Python 2.7 or PyPy 2.0. For more
