MacroPy - bringing Macros to Python

In plain words

MacroPy is a Python development tool that adds macro capabilities to the language, enabling features like quasiquotes, case classes, and LINQ-style syntax. It allows developers to extend Python's syntax and reduce boilerplate code through metaprogramming. MacroPy is designed for Python programmers who need advanced code generation and transformation features beyond what standard Python offers.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
