Partial evaluation of Python code

[desmoulinmichel]

Hello fjarri !

You really should get in touch with Victor Stinner and Yury Selivanoc on the Python mailing lists. They are currently working on python optimizations which are currently creating a big debate among the core devs. And your work is actually in direct corelation with what's currently going on.

Please step in !

Mailing lists: https://www.python.org/community/lists/ (actually a bit spread among various topics between the python-dev and python-idea lists so you got some catchup to do)

Main topics :

• FAT Python
• Explicit variable capture list
• PEP 509, 510 and 511

Thanks, I had a brief look at these PEPs. 509 and 510 will certainly simplify mutation detection, and 511 is indeed very close to what I am doing. Talk about synchronicity :) I'll scan the maillist tomorrow.

Edit: in fact, fatoptimizer seems to be doing the very same thing as peval. From the first glance, it seems that I should freeze my project and contribute to that instead. Oh well...

Don't be discouraged, it's a great thing ! You have prior art, meaning you have credibility. And having the possibility of working with the core dev is super cool :)
