At the last PyCon3 at Italy I've presented a new Python implementation, which you'll find at http://code.google.com/p/wpython/
Good to see some more attention on Python performance! There's quite a bit going on in your changes; do you have an optimization-by-optimization breakdown, to give an idea about how much performance each optimization gives? Looking over the slides, I see that you still need to implement functionality to make test_trace pass, for example; do you have a notion of how much performance it will cost to implement the rest of Python's semantics in these areas? Also, I checked out wpython at head to run Unladen Swallow's benchmarks against it, but it refuses to compile with either gcc 4.0.1 or 4.3.1 on Linux (fails in Python/ast.c). I can send you the build failures off-list, if you're interested. Thanks, Collin Winter
