Hi all,

I'm a little bit confused at the moment about what you really try to achive and I'm not too sure if everybody is talking about the same thing. Anyway, since two of the founders of this pypy discussion are meeting in person this Friday I'd propose that I grill them a little bit and write up some paper about it (and post it here, of course).

We are rewriting Python in Python. Stepwise. First, getting a minimal system up and running, replacing the core modules by hand. Finally, we want to lift all of the C code to Python, in order to do certain things with that, like trying different ways to copile it back into C, another VM, Psyco, trying different versions of the object model, all of that. And yes, there should be a way to downsize Python, reasonably, then.
