In the general case, that code would have to basically work like the Python interpreter. Too much is happening at runtime and it cannot be determined at compile time. > 3) Highly re-use existing Python code for High performance application.

Is the GIL really an artifact of the interpreter? /Jorgen -- // Jorgen Grahn <grahn@ Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu \X/ snipabacken.dyndns.org> R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
