Muchas gracias for the explanation of repr. I knew I shouldn't have lost faith in Guido.
The ctemplate sounds really frickin' interesting. Is this an easy way to get a major performance boost on CPU-intensive bits of Python? Actually, this is probably getting off-topic, but will you email me when ctemplate is ready for prime-time?
No, although it could potentially be modified to fulfill that purpose. Its purpose is best described as providing a macro system that allows some C code to be generated by more-succinct Python code.
By the way, you e-mail is not in your profile. You can send me an e-mail (in my profile), and I'd be happy to keep you posted.
