Great work! The only implementation that I can think of that might be useful (to me) is ecl but it isn't a major request as I primarily use sbcl.
Okay, I'll wait until there is demand for it.
Any hint of what the next steps for clpython are? Just curious ;-)!
A few things that play: - Getting the shootout benchmark running <http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/>. The result of the tests that can be run is that CLPython performance is not bad, but CPython is on average a bit faster. - Running Sympy, a big pure-Python project, to show language completeness. Attempting this lead already to many small fixes and conversion of required Python standard library files. - A future goal is to have an Emacs IDE for Python based on Slime. In particular I'd like to have a great debugger for stepping through Python code. If anyone has good ideas or wishes for this, let me know. - Willem
