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.
