Perthon Design Notes

• Human readable output -- Although very possible to reimplement the Python interpreter in Perl, that is not the goal.
• Should Perthon rigorously follow the Python language spec? or should it merely add a Pythonic dialect to Perl? Time will tell how realistic the former is. Or should the type of code generation be a compiler option?
• Optionally work as a Perl source code filter.
• Provide high integration with Perl (e.g. Perthon code manipulating Perl data structures and calling CPAN modules).
• How much run-time v.s. static checking is done?
