Martin, I'd love to give it a go, but right now I'm insanely busy (I shouldn't even be worrying about this :)

In about two weeks things will calm down a bit though, and I could look into it. But I don't know the interpreter core at all, so I'd probably need a bit of guidance as to what files to look at (I don't want to spend an afternoon grepping).

And  I know very little about the python interenals (for example, about how to handle python exceptions from the C side). But with a bit of guidance I can manage. So if nobody else who knows the system well and can do it in 10 minutes is interested, and if someone is willing to point me in the right direction, I can look into it two/three weeks from now.
