Having read your weg pages, I suppose your german language 
profiency can't called perfect either.
I hope that your customers won't turn down your offer because
of your inattention for these petty details.

I can't say that I've understood the kind of 'compiler' you offer, 
but I guess it'll sum up to something like a combination of 
the freeze and the py2c-utilities. Further code optimization 
requires object declaration.

Please correct me if I´ve got it wrong.


I guess something like that won't be reasonably applicable
for a rapid prototyping language, because you end up
correcting all these compiler errors.
But the status of a software project may change and other 
people have other uses of Python.

What about developing a backtracking algorithm which analyses the
flow of data from the program's interface to internal objects
and applies considerate restrictions based on several conversion rules
under consideration of the objects' __coerce__() methods?  

What about concentrating on special applications which do
usually not require some critical features of Python? 
What about optimizing (the correct term might be: "mutilating")
the language for embedded systems?

I think there aren't many political reservations against you 
wanting to get paid for your product. 
Said product should be worth the euros, though, and I'm not
convinced by a badly written Usenet posting or a clumsy web page. 


Friendly regards,

Mirko Liss
