I spent decades perfecting my code, never got anything worth mentioning done. To me it was important to realize that it's a way to escape reality, to protect the fuzzy bubble of intellectual masturbation. Truth is; if it doesn't work, no one cares; and rightly so. These days I try hard to stick with solving actual problems and continuously improving solutions; writing code like marathons rather than 100m sprints, growing it like a garden rather than constructing cathedrals.

I'm pretty sure it's too late by now for Python, but I've had some success with compiling C-based interpreters [0] to C; that is, generating the actual C code that the interpreter would execute to run the program. That way you can reuse much of the interpreter, keep the dynamic behavior and still get nimble native executables.
