Another question that I'd love to hear the answer to: What's the difference between Pysco and something like this Self implementation or the HotSpot Java implementation? I've never read a clear explanation of what Pysco does or how it compares to other systems that do dynamic compilation.

I don't know the answer to this... I suspect part of it might have to do with 'abstract interpretation'. I'll see Armin tomorrow (at PythonUK) and beat him up until he answers this question himself :-)

Cheers, mwh
