It is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backus–Naur_form or something similar. A python DSL would certainly be less expressive and useful.

I realise that (with some additions, certainly - it has imports) I just don't think embedding it in a string is 'really nice', personally. The 'developer experience' will be crap or reliant on hyper-specific tooling; so likely crap. (The RHS of that 'or' will be too niche to be good and well-maintained, probably.)
