Re: Prothon on CPython intrepreter? [PROTHON]

When your parser sees:

  * "abc"

It generates a Unicode object instead of an 8-bit object.

When your parser sees:

def bar(x=expression()): pass

it converts to something like:

def bar(x=ProthonNoValueProvided):
    if x==ProthonNoValueProvided:
        x = expression()

You could also define a new kind of function object to sit alongside the 
Python function object.
