The problem with pyrex/cython is that we must create the files by
hand.  Besides being risky, it discourages further development.

pylint seems like the best prior art.  It does an adequate job of
finding types by double interpretation, but it's too slow to part of
every-day workflow.

The pypy project is another interesting project, but I am unaware of
any part of its tool chain that does what I am attempting.

Are there other projects I should know about?

To my knowledge, there is nothing that quickly and accurately
determines the types of objects in Python programs.  Do you of any
such tool?
