IMHO, with the presence of static types in Py3K, we should have a static compiler that can be invoked dynamically, just like Common Lisp. Something like def foo(...): bar = static_compile(foo, optimize=2) bar(...) JIT compilers are hyped, static compilers perform much better. This way the programmer can decide what needs to be compiled. This is the reason why CMUCL can compete with most C compilers. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
