In 1999 or so I tried to write a better macro preprocessor. I called it MPP. Here it is, via the Wayback Machine

Oh, I have the sources. I haven't lost anything. Why I don't host that project anywhere is that I'm not all that proud of it.

I worked for one startup some almost years ago whose guys looked at that thing before they hired me and liked it.

MPP has namespaces, and it also tries to preserve whitespace (expansions occurring at some indentation level are indented). It could be used for Python, in theory.

Thinking along those lines, I posted to a Python newsgroup around then: reactions were mixed:
