First of all, it's going to be implementation defined. So, you can't expect *any* bytecode you create on one VM to work on another. Secondly, it's useless for speed when you have a JIT. -- Regards, Benjamin _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
