Thanks for all of your replies. The front-end rewrite sounds especially interesting. I'm going to look into that. Is the entire front end changing (ie scan/parse/ast) or just the AST structure ?

If you have any more information or directions please let me know.

It is just a new AST. Redoing/replacing pgen is something else entirely. =)

The branch that this is being developed under in CVS is ast-branch. There is a incomplete README in Python/compile.txt that explains the basic idea and direction.
