Well, Psyco is already immediately useful for many problems on Intel
platforms, but I take your point that its real future is as the
next-generation VM for Python.

However, I agree 100% about the potential for leveraging Pyrex in
Numarray. Not just in Numarray, but around it, too. The Numarray team
should open serious talks with Greg Ewing about Numarray-enabling Pyrex.
And New Zealand is a very nice place to visit (seriously, not joking,
even though I am an Australian [reference to trans-Tasman Sea rivalry
between Asutralia and New Zealand there]).
