I doubt that the extra time taken to link in 'everything else' (already compiled) is the major barrier to experimenting with the byte code interpreter ;-) Many such experiments involve changing the byte code itself, and hence the byte code compiler also. Terry J. Reedy PS. When you start a new topic, start a new thread instead of piggybacking on an existing thread. Thread-aware readers typically present a list of one line per thread and expand on request. If I were not reading the thread on PEP 317, I would not have seen this.
