This is accomplished via expansions, which are special signals to the EmPy system and are set off by a special prefix (by default the at sign, '@'). It can expand arbitrary Python expressions and statements in this way, as well as a variety of special forms. Textual data not explicitly delimited in this way is sent unaffected to the output, allowing Python to be used in effect as a markup language. Also supported are callbacks via hooks, recording and playback via diversions, and dynamic, chainable filters. The system is highly configurable via command line options and embedded commands.

Netics 2.5 http://freshmeat.net/releases/124738/ Netics is an extensible network statistics collector. It puts the network interface in promiscuous mode and reads the data stream (after it strips off the appropriate protocol headers), then displays the results at specified intervals, either in a "progress bar" mode or as raw statistics. Currently, it supports 2 statistics, both involving entropy: LZW compressability and Ueli Maurer's universal statistical test.
