Its a straight code port. I think it would if norvig would of used CL or Clojure you could say the same thing to a python port.

I do agree that the python code looks a little cleaner but both look fine.

I really like Python, but CPython is an ugly monster.

Edit: did the down-voters ever cared to read the code or even write a Python module in C?

I think that, like me, the downvoters don't understand what CPython has to do with anything.

To be aware there's a mess under the hood and it's not going away anytime soon.

Yes, our current release implements Python 2.5 completely, and our trunk implements 2.7. As for speed, I'll let: http://speed.pypy.org/ speak for itself.

Is there a memory use comparison?
