Over lunch with Neal we came upon the topic of optimization and Python 3000.

It is our strong opinion that in this stage of the Py3k project we should focus on getting the new language spec and implementation feature-complete, without worrying much about optimizations.

+1 here - this sounds like an excellent plan to me.

Step 1: Make it work Step 2: Make it work fast

I've made life difficult for myself a few times by trying to do step 2 without doing step 1 first :)

Cheers, Nick.
