This may seem like an odd question, but I’m intrigued by the idea of using Python as a data definition language with “undo” support.

If I were to try and instrument the Python interpreter to be able to step backwards, would that be an unduly difficult or inefficient thing to do?

The pydev list is for development of the next version of Python. Please direct your question to a more appropriate forum such as python-list.

(Please reply to me directly.)

I did this time, but you should not expect that when posting to a public list.
