Even just a simple backend python compiler for JVM would be a huge start, since it would cover 90% of cases people are interested in any sort of python-on-JVM. On the JRuby project we've gotten the most interest so far from folks simply wanting access to what the JVM and Java platform have to offer, and only recently from people interested in improved performance. The same could likely apply to Python if PyPy could produce a compiler backend for JVM. - Charlie _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
