Some remearks: - I've started the AST interface, the "unimplemented" is not quite true. Just compiling an AST string isn't supported. But compiling an AST source file (e.g. ast/hello.past) basically works. - Its currently stalled, only a few AST nodes are handled. - A pure Python or C Python lexer/parser/AST generator will be needed finally. - Some Python PMCs will be needed. Scalars and aggregates are simple and a lot of functionality is already there. It just needs basically moving existing code pieces around. - Python metaclass/class/object PMCs are still challenging - Needs a lot more tests. Is there a low-level Python test suite around that is able to "bootstrap" the unit-tests? Any help is very welcome. > - Sam Ruby leo
