But all this does *not* work for JPython I think.

Although I use python since five or six years extensively, I have 
to admit, that I did not miss any of those functions.
Maybe I should have learned Lisp before I started with python ;^)

The most interesting functionality (for me), is hidden in 
bytecodehacks.closure:

  bind
  bind_locals
  bind_now

With those methods (it seems), I can speedup my functions.

What should I do, if I just want to "burn" the globals and 
built-ins into my function?

Looks like great work.
