From the psyco homepage ( http://psyco.sourceforge.net/ ) "Python 2.7 is unsupported so far. Anyone interested in porting Psyco to it is welcome. I started the work in a branch but it needs finishing." That's the most recent news item on the home page, and it's dated July 16, 2010, about a year and a half ago. I don't think psyco supports python 2.7. -- Jerry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
