Maybe this has been brought up before, but should pysco be added to the
standard library once it's mature enough?

I'm sure that before it could be included as part of the standard bytecode
compiler, people would have to fix it's few flaws (
http://psyco.sourceforge.net/psycoguide/bugs.html#bugs ). If the flaws
aren't easily fixable, psyco could probably just detect cases where they
would occur and use the regular bytecode compiler. (like how the things at
http://psyco.sourceforge.net/psycoguide/unsupported.html are avoided)

and I'm sure the speedups would help python's reputation.
