As far as I understand it, RPython isnt' really meant for actually writing programs in:

> Do I have to rewrite my programs in RPython?

> No, and you shouldn’t try. First and foremost, RPython is a language designed for writing interpreters. It is a restricted subset of Python. If your program is not an interpreter but tries to do “real things”, like use any part of the standard Python library or any 3rd-party library, then it is not RPython to start with. You should only look at RPython if you try to write your own interpreter.

Hmm, still it might make a good foundation for the sort of thing you're talking about, eh?

Cheers.

For sure!
