I'm pleased to announce Blip version 0.1.0, a bytecode compiler for Python 3.
Blip compiles Python 3 source files to bytecode. The output bytecode is compatible with the CPython interpreter (the "standard" Python implementation).
For example, given a Python 3 source file called foo.py, the command:
blip foo.py
produces a bytecode file called foo.pyc. The bytecode can be executed by passing it as an argument to a CPython interpreter:
python3 foo.pyc
This is an early development release of Blip, so it is not ready for serious use, however it supports most of the Python 3 language already.
It has been tested on OS X 10.7.5 with GHC 7.4.2. The output has been tested with Python 3.3.0.
