I'd have a look at the following Python-related papers: Michael Salib's Starkiller paper (and presentation): http://www.python.org/pycon/dc2004/papers/1/ Mark Dufour's ShedSkin paper: http://kascade.org/optimizing_python.pdf John Aycock's "Aggressive Type Inference" paper: http://www.python.org/workshops/2000-01/proceedings/papers/aycock/aycock.html I also provided a fair number of references in the following thread: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/cc98317bdf96efda I hope this is of use!
