Hmmm, looks like I missed this paragraph in the original mail: """ Currently libpython does almost all the hard work, and what I mostly do, is to eliminate the bytecode generation and interpretation, and replace it with C++. Depending on the program, that is close to nothing. """ This may indicate that the generated C++ code actually interfaces with CPython. Maybe Kay can clear this up.
