That's great, thanks for going there. Subscribed to the issue. That
will solve all the
problems for me. I hope somebody tackles it. But just to be clear. I
totally get it if
it were not to happen.

For Nuitka I have chosen to run with the language version that I compile, so run
time computations need not be abstracted. One idea I had was to have a slave
Python interpreter on the target OS, target Python version, that does
part of the
work, e.g. "1+2L", while also caching results. So far, this has proven
too crazy,
but would enable cross compilation maybe.

Not sure how much compile time computations PyLint does. I assume it is quite
a lot.

Yours,
Kay
