-Lamented the bygone `#ifdef`s and cursed macro trickery? This is the Python package for you!

Furthermore, the following special preprocessor macros are implemented:
- `__COUNTER__`: results in a higher number each time it is expanded
-- `__VERSION__`, `__PYTHON__`, `__PYTHON_MINOR__`, `__PYTHON_MICRO__`: Python version info
+- `__VERSION__`, `__PYTHON__`, `__PYTHON_MINOR__`, `__PYTHON_MICRO__`
- `__IMPLEMENTATION__`: the Python implementation
- `__FILE_NAME__`

-Python supports arbitrary file encodings which are implemented via Python code. This uses that interface to effectively reparse your code at runtime before it starts being evaluated.
