python-psyco: The Python Specialing Compiler

Name:	python-psyco	Vendor:	http://www.karan.org/
Version:	1.5	License:	MIT
Release:	3.el4.kb	URL:	http://psyco.sourceforge.net/

Summary

Psyco is a kind of just-in-time (JIT) compiler, a little bit like what exists for other languages, that emit machine code on the fly instead of interpreting your Python program step by step. The difference with the traditional approach to JIT compilers is that Psyco writes several version of the same blocks (a block is a bit of a function), which are optimized by being specialized to some kinds of variables (a "kind" can mean a type, but it is more general). The result is that your unmodified Python programs run faster.
