No, just more questions. ;-) What's supposed to be compiled? Only PyPy itself or also the programs it's "interpreting"? <http://www.python.org/pycon/dc2004/papers/27/>: "In the next step of the project, we will generate C code or machine code from the source of Pypy, thereby reducing the speed penalty." I've been told by so many books and on-line material that Python cannot be compiled (unless you cheat). So how is this possible?
