Thanks a lot for sketching a possible route for implementing this! I would be more than willing to put some effort into this if I had the time. But maybe with some guidance it would still be possible to have some progress every now and then. The first part seem easy enough; write the code that reads a file with python code and loads it into the ast. You mention a few ways serialization can be done. Are there any examples of similar approaches already in the code base? Are there already places where de-serialization is done with one of the formats mentioned (or other formats for that matter)? Any pointers for tools/tests in the repo that can be useful for working with this would be much appreciated. Btw. would it make things easier if one used cython or mypyc to compile the python part to a c module? Again, if there is any way I could fund this work more or less directly, I would also be interested in hearing about that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
