Comment (by hinder):

 I had tried to do this in the past, but the Python syntax for "here-
 documents" never seemed to be as convenient as the Perl one.  You need to
 provide a dictionary containing all your definitions, and if you want to
 compute one definition using a previous definition, this requires a lot of
 duplication.  However, I have found a way to work around this by using the
 locals() function which returns a dictionary containing all the locally
 defined variables.  This can then be used in the substitution.  I'm
 attaching a Python version of test_rpar.
