No contradiction or disagreement.  It is not all that tough to do
something of limited benefit, such as pre-interpreting Python byte
codes into a series of function calls in some
compilable-to-machine-code language.  It is *must* harder to do
something much more useful, which is all Guido would be interested in.

A a grad student, Armin Rigo conceived and implemented a clever idea
which works with a large subset of Python.  Now that he has graduated
to the real world, I am sure all of us hope that he finds the means to
continue.  PyRex and Weave are other projects that help certain Python
applications.
