I would much rather use editor tools than a preprocessor. Once we introduce a mandatory preprocessing stage, we are no longer writing Python code. Editor tools provide much the same convenience, but leave us still writing standard Python.
I'm not married to the notion that the lists have to be generated at build time; the same work could well be triggered from the editor. I'm just worried that editor tools would leave us with the spurious merge conflicts, whereas taking the imports out of revision control would fix them.
Also, in principle, a cross-file view would allow us to deal with circular imports automatically.
