Python-on-guile

[Mikael Djurfeldt]

Hi,

Yesterday, Andy committed new code to the compiler, some of which concerned
skipping some arity checking.

Also, Stefan meanwhile committed something called "reworked object system"
to his python-on-guile.

Sorry for coming with unspecific information (don't have time to track down
the details) but I noticed that my benchmark script written in Python, and
which computes the 20:th Ramanujan number, now runs 60% faster than before
these changes.

This means that python-on-guile running on guile3 master executes python
code only 2.6 times slower than the CPython python3 interpreter itself. :-)

Have a nice weekend all,
Mikael
