Sure, but there is no way to avoid extending the Python parser and then your DSL becomes external. I remember having had a similar discussion a while ago with Kevin Dangoor the original TurboGears developer who has also written Paver [1]. In the end DSL syntax wasn't worth the hassle and Kevin developed Paver entirely in Python.
