I'm ready to bet that they did not implement a Python compiler, but a simil-Python language that implements 80/90/95% of Python features. The web is full of projects like this. I'm not saying that the techniques used for that project are not worth of attention, just that probably "the trick" was not to support the features of Python that are hardest to implement efficiently. ciao, Anto _______________________________________________ pypy-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
