Are there any plans to develop this? This is asked fairly frequently, and the usual answer is "No, but you're welcome to volunteer." :-) It would be much harder to do this for Python than OCaml, which is (I believe) statically typed. Python is so dynamic that you can hardly be sure of *anything* until runtime. There are some projects attacking parts of the problem, however, e.g. Psyco. By the way, Guido is probably going to tell you that python-dev is the wrong place to discuss this, since it's not directly about development of the Python interpreter/libraries.
