[Psyco-devel] Joining the party

[Kevin J. <ja...@pe...>]

Hello everyone,

Hi Armin and other Psyco-hackers,

  I've been keeping an eye on your Psyco project for the last few months
since you announced it and am very excited about its potential.  I've also
been thinking about different online code generation/JIT strategies for
Python and other dynamically typed languages.  I have many many ideas that I
would be happy to discuss, though one comes to mind immediately: I've
browsed through the Psyco CVS tree and noticed that you do not optimize for
the Python array module!  Adding this support seems (to me, at least) is
much easier than virtualizing non-escaping Python lists and tuples.  While
not as general, it give a lot of bang-for-the-buck.  It doesn't look hard to
add, so I may take a stab at it over the next few days, provided you think
its a productive step.

Regards,
-Kevin Jacobs

PS:  Will any of you be at the Python conference next month in the US?
