We already optimize bytecode. But it seems much more could be done there. It also seems like a simpler goal. Also, AST will need to be changed to bytecode at some point, and that bytecode could still be optimized in ways not available to the AST, I imagine. Also, I understand bytecode, more or less :) K _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
