I have not read up on them too carefully myself, though Samuele Pedroni (who I believe sits on the expert group for that feature) mentioned (I forget where) that the new bytecodes are not too likely to be useful for Jython internals, except perhaps where Jython calls out to Java code. In any case, use of new JVM bytecodes feels very Jython 3000 to me (since there would certainly be major backwards compatibility issues). Not that I wouldn't love to try them out sooner... -Frank |
