If you provide the necessary annotations for optimization. Not sure about runtime. But then that is what psyco does (albeit for a limited range of machines) at runtime. And even in bigloo you end up with guarding statements for typechecking & and an code-size explosion. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
