Woohoo! The announcement's forwarded on to p6i for the denizens there to grovel over. I fully expect many hours of pain and misery ahead to make this work. :)

Enjoy. :-) Is there a online archive where I can watch the fun without signing up?

BTW I forgot to mention that parts of the test are self-checking, but other parts require comparing of the output. The file 'out' is all you should care about. And if you want the bytecode, try this in a Unix shell:

$ python2.3 -O [GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import b ^D $

You should now have optimized bytecode in the 8 files b*.pyo.
