It could be interesting. """ - pyvm is * 2 times * faster than Python 2.4. In the source code there is a collection of benchmarks which includes 65 python scripts collected from the internet. At average if Python 2.4 needs 24 hours to do some job, pyvm can do it in 12 hours. - pyvm is a virtual machine that can run Python 2.3/2.4 bytecode. There is a compiler written in python (the 'pyc' program) which is executed by the vm to compile source code to bytecode. It is very easy to do advanced optimizations in python and the compiler produces bytecode of high quality (speed and size).
