My feeling is that Python seems such a simple language at the surface that people who want to write a special purpose "Python subset" compiler prefer starting from scratch, rather than contributing to the existing tools. It takes a while until they understand the actual size of that undertaking and that's the point where most of these projects just die. I don't mean all of them. If you have enough time and/or money, you can certainly get a project going that's relevant enough for a critical (special purpose) user base to provide an actual benefit. But then, why invest that time into something completely new that requires major long-term maintenance efforts, when implementing the desired feature in an existing compiler would be a one-time investment with a much smaller overall impact on further maintenance costs? Not Invented Here Syndrome, I guess... Stefan
