Project status?

Open joshring opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

It has been a while since Python 3.6, so I was wondering, can this be used without a patched python? Also I was wondering what the project's status was.

The fatoptimizer module requires a Python 3.6 patched with PEP 510 “Specialize functions with guards” and PEP 511 “API for code transformers” patches.

Many thanks

This project is abandonned/stalled.

Based on this project, I wrote three PEPs:

  • PEP 509 -- Add a private version to dict => ACCEPTED
  • PEP 510 -- Specialize functions with guards => REJECTED
  • PEP 511 -- API for code transformers => REJECTED

There was no evidence that FAT Python will succeed to make Python faster.

FYI I'm now working on other approaches like https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0620/
