Well, could you provide a use case where you have to generate Python code, 
and where normally written code with some kind of parametrisation won't work?

The only thing that currently comes to my mind is a template compiler that 
translates a user provided template into an executable Python program. But 
that should be pretty trivial to do as well. I just remembered this little 
thing on Fredrik's effbot site, which should help here:
