Well that&#x27;s the problem that needs solving all right.<p>Yet again today I have a Python project that is already (at 200 lines!) obviously massively compressible if I had macros.<p>Maybe I can get there by returning functions &amp; building up the functionality that way, but it feels like I&#x27;m trying to scratch that spot in the middle of my back, where I can&#x27;t quite reach.
