Have you looked at the byte code used in SRE, Python's (mostly) Perl-compatible regex package? Worth a look!

Nope, not yet, but I will. (You folks will end up making a Python programmer out of me yet, I expect... :)

This and the C extension interface are the two big Python things I've got on my "must peer deeply into" list. Are there other places I should be concentrating on? (I'm poking about with the interpreter loop and associated code, but that's the sort of thing an expert with 20 minutes free will get me much farther than a week or two with the source)
