Comments are invited on a new pep:

Based on feedback received so far, there were several changes to the original draft: * The module is public * The module name reflects its nature as a bytecode hack * There is a flag to disable binding * Added summaries of how it works, when it is called, and the effect on startup time (near zero). * Included a reference to Jython FAQs supporting the means for automatically doing nothing in environments without bytecodes.

Raymond, could you please try to tame your speed obsession without devising even more hacks and pissing in other people's pool.

Thanks.
