At a glance, itwould seem to be the shortest route to an interpreted AND compiled Python,in a fully interactive environment. Interactive development is even betterin Lisp - eg, being able to modify and compile individual functions while aprogram is running is a real luxury - especially for server sidedevelopment.I'm not sure what we'd do with all the other Python goodies though: GUItoolkits, C extension modules, etc.If this has been discussed before, could someone point me to a mailing listarchive, or any other source? I'd be interested to hear of any efforts(successful or otherwise) in this direction.
