I have been going through How to Think Like A Computer Scientist 2nd edition online and have come across installing GASP in chapter 4. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find much documentation on how to install GASP when running OSX and Python 2.6.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Tutor] Where's Psyco now?

In this article written in 2002 http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-psyco.html they talk about Psyco as a module that makes it possible to accelerate Python. Is it still a state-of-the-art module? I found it here also: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/psyco/1.6 Do you think it's useful, or it depends...? Its present homepage is http://psyco.sourceforge.net/ , and yes, it is still useful and fairly current. However, it should be used judiciously; only bother with it if you're having a performance problem and would otherwise be tempted to rewrite the algorithm in C. Don't casually use it as an all-purpose accelerator, as that's not what it was built for.
