It would be nice if Psycho were ported to the Mac as well so that all of the 
major platforms that have Python could use Psycho too.  Then we could make 
Psycho a standard part of Python with it automatically used by default, just 
like the JIT compiler in Java.  I figure at least half of these threads we 
constantly see about speeding up Python code would go away with a 
used-by-default JIT compiler.  Its a nice dream anyway.  :)
