pyc

by @hpcjoe

Working with a variety of AI models (Claude, Grok Build, various locally run models) and agents, I am scratching an itch. When people deploy python and perl code, they have to either export their entire environment, or build a container. The latter is not possible in a number of deployment cases, and the former carries all manner of dependency radius gotchas. So I am building (ok, I am prompting/testing/reviewing, the agent is doing the heavy lift) compilers for each of python 3.14.x [1] right now, and perl 5.42.x [2], that can generate static code. Early stages, perlc does work well, pyc is a work in progress. [1] https://github.com/joelandman/pyc [2] https://github.com/joelandman/perlc
