Hehe. Okay. It will probably always be the case that you have to lose some Python features if you want the code to run really fast. I suppose PyPy's restricted Python subset doesn't support duck typing either. Luckily not all code is performance critical, or you could just try and optimize some performance critical part. But anyway, I'm starting to understand that Shed Skin should probably support exceptions wherever possible :-) The main goal of Shed Skin is to be able to specify C++-like code at a higher level, not to be able to optimize arbitrary Python programs.. :-) For the kinds of things I write (algorithmic-like code), I really don't need the full flexibility of Python. It's just great to be able to leave out type declarations, and to use the beautiful Python syntax. >;-) >All the best, thanks! mark.
