On: Guido's Proposal: Moratorium on Python language changes

[amichail]

Is there an implementation that will target the iPhone?

[pgbovine → amichail]

google's unladen swallow targets LLVM, and apple is now sponsoring work on LLVM, which they might be using to target iPhone ... so it could become a reality in the near future :)

[reggieband → pgbovine]

If Adobe can use LLVM to compile Actionscript for the iphone, then it seems very likely work could be done to get Python to compile to the iPhone as well.

[jey → pgbovine]

LLVM does have an ARM target.

As soon as the SDK agreement doesn't ban interpreters, I could see such a thing coming, but not from -core

Here's a compiler: http://code.google.com/p/shedskin

That's not a compiler for Python. It's a compiler for a limited subset of Python that works via source to source translation targeting C++, you could write a version of it targeting Objective-C if you wanted.

I'm told you can mix C++ and Objective C, so should be fine.
