using macros (https://github.com/lihaoyi/macropy) to perform this conversion at import time.
I have no idea if this is possible or not; could anyone here give me any pointers or advice how to do this/why it is impossible?
Thanks! -Haoyi

It does not.
It does, in a way, but it's not an option available for the user on a single function at a time. The confusion comes from the RPython translator toolchain. This is how we produce PyPy, by translating into a binary the *whole* complete source code of PyPy (which is written in RPython, not in Python). There is no support to compile a single RPython function at a time --- or rather, there is, for our own testing purposes, but there is no reasonable way to integrate the result with the rest of your running Python code. As others have pointed out, you should not have to worry about it anyway because we have a JIT for full Python code. A bientôt, Armin.
