The biggest problem, in my view, is that the compiled object code won't work with any other version of Python, or with versions where the compiler was built with other options, or possibly even on other processors with the same version. The nice thing about a database server is that you can use it from different computers without worrying about versions or processors. Compilation is not that expensive.

Serializing Python compiled code.
Hi everyone, In a C++ application having a Python interpreter embedded, is it possible to compile a small Python snippet into object code and serialize the compiled object code to, for example, a database? I am exploring the possibility of writing a data driven application, where small-sized object code can be read from a database and executed. Keeping aside all other considerations such as security, etc for a moment, is this feasible? Please do reply. Thanks, -/renji -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

This might be too coarse for you, but you could serialize the .pyc files that get created from your modules. If you drop a .pyc file into a directory, and you make sure that you don't have a corresponding .py file of the same basename, and new date, in the directory, then Python will still execute it. This is a bit of a gotcha of Python for naive users, but this feature helps in use cases like yours, where you don't want to pay the lexing step, and for whatever reason, you don't want to simply use the file system as your store for code.
