I talked to Richard Emslie recently and he told me that the PyPy team works on a mechanism to create CPython-extension modules written in RPython i.e. a statically translateable subset of Python. So even without dynamic code specialization there will be an optimization path based on the PyPy toolchain that is amazing. Kay -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
