Nuitka now supports Python 3.2

[Andriy Kornatskyy]

Steven,

Just in case... pypy1.9 runs this test 22x faster than cpython2.7, see below.

python2.7 -c "from test import pystone;[pystone.main() for i in range(10)]"
Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 0.62
This machine benchmarks at 80645.2 pystones/second
...
Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 0.53
This machine benchmarks at 94339.6 pystones/second


pypy-1.9/bin/pypy -c "from test import pystone;[pystone.main() for i in range(10)]"

Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 0.116008
This machine benchmarks at 431005 pystones/second
...
Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 0.024002
This machine benchmarks at 2.08316e+06 pystones/second

Thanks.
