Well, technically you can use any preprocessor. How suitable it is
for Python development is another matter.

Example: test.p contains:

#define PH x[1]
PH = 3

Running "cpp -P test.p" produces exactly what you think it would,

x[1] = 3

Nothing special, no magic here. You might want to do makefile rules
for converting *.p files to corresponding *.py files, though.

Note: I'm definitely not suggesting you _should_ use the C preprocessor
for Python development.
