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?

I prefer to see that as
The fix_imports fix seems to fix only the first import per line that you have.
So if you do for example
import urllib2, cStringIO
it will not fix cStringIO.
Is this a bug or a feature? :-) If it's a feature it should warn at
least, right?

You are believing correctly. Martin has designed and implemented a
nicely working API to store extension module data per interpreter state.

while it has to interact with the Unix and Windows

Hi,
I just had to move the "extern lstat..." outside the "ifndef
HAVE_LSTAT" to get python 2.6.1 to build on OpenBSD 4.4-current/i386.
I'm not suggesting this is correct, but it fixes the build for my
platform at least.

Hi,
replying to the topic only: because many C libraries support threading and
Python extension modules can integrate them in a way that allows
concurrency in a safe way (although 'safe' is definitely something that is
