Earlier this year I promised Kent that I would alternate my attention 
between Leo and the static type checking project: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/python-static-type-checking 
I haven't kept that promise.  In fact, I have been devoting *all* my 
attention to the type-checking project.  I'm not even playing the piano 
much.  When I'm not actively working on the project I'm letting my 
non-conscious mind work on the problem to the exclusion of everything else.

I don't seem to have a choice: if I were to divide my attention now I would 
lose all the momentum that I have so laboriously built up.  Happily, I am 
guessing that only a few weeks, or even a few days, may suffice to reach 
one last essential breakthrough.  Just this morning I saw where to look for 
the Aha.  Details later today in the other project.

Yes, many interesting and important projects are piling up in the Leo 
world.  I apologize for the interruption and ask for your understanding.  I 
do hope to get back to you all sooner rather than later.  I will not be 
happy if the work on type checking lasts much beyond the new year.

P.S.  I have been looking for ways that the type-checking work can 
contribute to Leo.   Yesterday I found one.  I wrote a script that converts 
@test nodes to typical unit tests (subclasses of unittest.TestCase).  The 
script writes these converted tests to one or more external files.  This is 
a remarkably simple script; you could easily change it to make it work just 
as you please. More details at: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/python-static-type-checking/8y3UFlRE0dY
  
I'll be adding this script to scripts.leo today.
