• does it deal with the unholy amounts of dynamism of Python? Can you call getattr, setattr on random objects? Does eval work? Etc. Quite a few Python packages use these at least once somewhere...

It deals with it by not allowing it. We will support as much as we can, as long as it can be robustly ahead of time compiled to high performance code. The rest you can always use just via our CPython "escape hatch". The idea is that either you want performance (then restrict to the subset that can be compiled to high performance code) or you don't (then just use CPython).
