pyvm source code

Hi.

pyvm is a program that can run python 2.4 bytecode.
It can also run the bytecode of the 'pyc compiler' and
consequently it can run python source code.

It's written from the scratch and it has only been
tested on a x86/Linux system. It's not portable yet,
neither ready for the simple user, not to mention that
gcc >= 3.4 is required to compile it :)

What's good about it is that it's small and easier to
hack and write large scale programs using pyvm as the
base runtime. On the other hand, pyvm is not compatible
with python and AFAIC there is no plan doing this as
a hobby.

The source code is available under LGPL at:

Enjoy,

Stelios
