I'm sure probably most of you knows about psyco[1], the optimizer. Python
has an -O and -OO flag that is intended to be optimization flag, but we
know that currently it doesn't do much. Why not add psyco as standard
library and let -O or -OO invoke psyco?
This really belongs on Python-ideas and not Python-dev.
The main reason why not is that someone(s) from the Python core team
would then need to 'own' maintaining Psyco (which is x86 only as well).
Psyco is so hard to maintain that even the original author wants to drop
it. :-)
