[IPython-dev] Sth. like "python -O" within IPython?

[Hans Meine]

Hi!

When I am using assert's a lot, it certainly makes a difference when I run my 
program with "python -O".  Is it possible to run IPython with optimization?

I would imagine either

* a "global" commandline parameter -O or

* an interactive means to switch on optimization (e.g. -O for %run or 
similar), if that is possible.

(I already used psyco within IPython, which provides a different, but more 
effective way for a speedup, but is not that 100% stable.)
