make.py looks great.

I also wrote a make replacement in python (2.7) [1]. I'm proud of it but it doesn't do parallel builds and there are so many other build tools that are better tested. But I'll put it here in case it gives anyone any ideas.

That's pretty cool! It's really not too different from make.py. Using decorators and python functions is likely cleaner in a lot of cases, though I'm not sure if that would fit well with make.py's pseudo-declarative model. It probably wouldn't be too hard to add support for parallelism, either.
