Dear Python Community,

I have been trying to research how to type-def python. I want to type-def python so that I can use it as a static analyzer to check for bugs. I have been going over research on this field and I came upon Brett Cannon's thesis in which he tweaks the compiler and shows that type-defing python would not help the compiler achieve a 5% performace increase.

Brett Cannon, "Localized Type Inference of Atomic Types in Python": http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~bac/thesis.pdf

I was wondering if anyone could help me contact him so that I could might ask him for his source code and try to use type-defing as a bug-finder.

With thanks, Brian
