Inline assembly in Python without C extensions - genuinely novel approach.

Strengths
  • Compiles shared objects on-the-fly per assembly signature, no build step needed.
  • Supports GCC extended inline assembly syntax with proper operand constraints.
  • Python callables work as native function pointers callable from assembly.
Weaknesses
  • Linux/WSL-only, requires gcc and Python dev headers at runtime.
  • Very early (0.1.1), API surface is minimal with just __asm__ exported.
Target Audience

Systems programmers using Python, performance-critical application developers
