No, I believe the consensus is that Python 3000 gets optional annotations which aren't specifically for type information... nudge nudge, wink wink! That last part is important, because that's also how many other people have interpreted this particular feature. I seem to recall that some of the PyPy people weren't interested in static analysis [1], so I'm skeptical about whether type annotations are their kind of thing, either. That said, I imagine that the handling of metadata (including type details) is an element in the way RPython works, but I also imagine that things get more complicated as such metadata diverges from plain type information and into arbitrary "observations" about other aspects of program behaviour. Still, I'd like to see the PyPy people stick their necks out and answer your questions. ;-) Paul [1] http://codespeak.net/pipermail/pypy-dev/2007q1/003607.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
