For those of us who don't know what WPython is, and are too lazy, too 
busy, or reading their email off-line, could you give us a one short 
paragraph description of what it is?

Actually, since I'm none of the above, I'll answer my own question: 
WPython is an implementation of Python that uses 16-bit wordcodes 
instead of byte code, and claims to have various performance benefits 
from doing so.

It looks like good work, thank you.
