Don't understand your Cython compliant. The only tricky part of Cython is the doublethink regarding Python types and C types. I attempted once to write a ShedSkin like code transformer from Python to Cython based on type recordings but never found the time for this because I have to work on EasyExtend on all fronts at the same time. Maybe next year or when Unladen Swallow becomes a success - never. The advantage of this approach over ShedSkin was that every valid Cython program is also a Python extension module, so one can advance the translator in small increments and still make continuous progress on the execution speed front. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
