Next thing you know we end up with a new setup.py, with imports, PYTHONPATH hacking et al ;-)

tl;dr -----
Recently I was working upon a project and I realised that I wanted to have conditionals inside my configuration file [...]
I didn't want to write a mini-language, because unless I did it very carefully I couldn't allow the flexibility that would be useful.
Instead I decided that I'd have two forms: If the file started with "#!" and was executable I'd parse the result of running it; otherwise I'd read it as-is
That approach seems like a win-win: the plain-vanilla static file can be promoted as best-practice, yet we have a fall-back for the complicated and edge cases.
