Python metaprogramming involves writing code that can manipulate or generate other code dynamically and is a powerful tool for creating more flexible and reusable software components. This is typically achieved through techniques like decorators, metaclasses, and introspection, enabling developers to extend the language's capabilities and automate repetitive patterns.

Metaclasses in Python are the 'classes of classes', meaning they define how classes behave. They allow customization and modification of class creation and behavior by overriding methods in the metaclass itself, thus providing a higher-level abstraction of code manipulation.

Introspection is the process of examining one's own thoughts and feelings, often used as a tool for personal growth and self-awareness. It allows individuals to gain insight into their mental and emotional states, fostering a deeper understanding of their motivations and behaviors.
