  • macropy

    Macros in Python: quasiquotes, case classes, LINQ and more!

  • https://github.com/lihaoyi/macropy. It's harder to use than Lisp macros though. Besides eval/exec, which allow string metaprogramming, an AST manipulation module is in the standard library, but it's even harder to work with than macropy.

  • hissp

    It's Python with a Lissp.

  • If you want Lisp metaprogramming plus Python ecosystem, check out Hissp

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
