You need to check-out a project called Psyco (forerunner for pypy). I was able to get almost 2x better performance by adding 3 lines of code for Psyco. See also: http://psyco.sourceforge.net/download.html I am rather amazed ! Psyco was able to give much better performance above and beyond the already optimized Python code without negatively impacting performance during its analysis at runtime. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
