Hey. This looks a bit ugly,

 It does, doesn't it :)

 you can definitely do it with some constant dict or something

Yes, there is an overflow check needed on the integer types but not on the character an float types, but I guess that could be solved with a flag in the dict. I was actually considering to introduce separate subclasses for each typecode overriding intem_w and descr_getitem. That would get rid of the typecode attribute lookup all together.

(we have special support for iterating over constants and unrolling the iteration, look for unrolling_iterable). Also, annotator can fold a bunch of ifs into a switch, but not if "in" operator is used (or is fine though).

That's nice features, good to know about. Thanx. -- Håkan Ardö
