Those are questions which I'm not able to answer, neither I know what is
the problem you are you trying to solve (as implementing m4 in python
could be expensive effort and it would have probably lower performance?).

If you are trying to find python m4 library, note that the 'libm4.so' C
library (WIP in git master) could be finished first -- then there could
exist something like "pym4" wrapper library for python.
