Thanks, it will be great to have a fast, SMP-capable Python implementation someday. Another question: are you planning on providing a Python-C API, so that packages with compiled extensions can run on CLPython?

No, there are no plans for implementing the C API. Actually I doubt it is practically possible, given the differences in e.g. object representation, garbage collection and exception handling. - Willem
