Well, it is an option, but I would prefer to have the API for AST optimizer directly built in Python.

In my plan, it would be, but it would have to be enabled with a configure switch, and provisionally protected by an #ifdef.

And I agree to wait until fatoptimizer is proven to be faster than the regular CPython before taking a decision of my 3 PEPs (509, 510, 511).

+1 - and just to be clear, I hope you succeed beyond your wildest imagination. :)

Cheers, -Barry
