#
# - Another important difference is that with PyRun you can compile and install
# C extensions, and with StaticPython you can't (even ctypes doesn't work with
# StaticPython). However, many extensions are precompiled: Stackless + greenlet
# + libssl + Tokyo Cabinet + libevent2 + Concurrence + AES + Syncless +
# MessagePack + Gevent MySQL + PyCrypto. 
#
# Yeah this is what I want.  Except I want to eliminate the parser too!
