It looks like the lack of thread support means I can't just use PyPy by itself, unfortunately. But the tokeniser, lexer, parser and AST builder could do what I need with modification, then I could walk the generated AST and produce standard Python code from that. How easy would it be to separate these parts out from the rest of PyPy? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
