    The CodeTools project from the Enthought Tool Suite 
    includes packages that simplify meta-programming
    and help the programmer separate data from code in Python. This
    library contains classes that allow defining simple snippets, or
    "blocks", of Python code, analyze variable dependencies in the code
    block, and use these dependencies to construct or restrict an
    execution graph. These (restricted) code blocks can then be executed
    in any namespace. However, this project also provides a
    Traits-event-enhanced namespace, called a "context", which can be used
    in place of a vanilla namespace to allow actions to be performed
    whenever variables are assigned or retrieved from the namespace. This
    project is used as the foundation for the BlockCanvas project.
