This is a (very) bare bones template JIT compiler for Python. It was written to accompany a PyCon 2019 talk aboout how to the same topic. It's intended to serve as a starting point for playing around with constructing JIT compilers in Python.
Compilers are fun! But production JIT compilers (e.g. v8, HotSpot) are large, complicated pieces of software that can seem inscrutable. This provides a simpler starting point for anyone wanting to get their feet wet.
This requires at least Python 3.6.
We use pipenv for managing dependencies. After cloning the repo, run
> pipenv install
> pipenv shell
> env PYTHONPATH=./ pytest
