Another example,
instead of say:
"""
${if python_version < '2.5':}$
install_requires: jsonlib
${:else:}$
install_requires: lxml
${:endif}$
"""
something like this:
"""
[setup]
name = mywebframework
version = 1.5
[python_version < '2.5']
install_requires = jasonlib
[python_version >= '2.5']
install_requires = lxml
"""
