Dave Cuny is writing it - and after playing with it for a few minutes, I'd have
to say, yes, it is a very serious project.. In an amazingly short period of
time, he has added a lot of the features that people have been asking for on
this list for years. It's already fast enough for many uses, even though
it uses Euphoria as its base - and the Euphoria engine can be compiled,
further boosting the speed.

There are a number of preprocessors available already. They aren't used very
much, as far as I can see. Personally, they annoy me more than help.
Besides, I don't know how a pre-processor would let you run in interactive
mode. (I thought I would hate this, but it turns out to be quite useful)

Dave supplies everything you need to write your own. Give it a try.
Or, better, contribute to testing Py - perhaps some of the neat features
will be enough to convince Rob to add them to Euphoria.
