  > I don't understand what it does. It shows me where hot code is, but where is it being optimized? Is it changing my source file? Does it create a 'compiled/optimized' copy of my source file? Is it an alternative interpreter? I haven't tried running / using it, I've just read the pypi documentation. From the very first sentence of the docs: > Specialist uses fine-grained location information to create visual representations of exactly where and how CPython 3.11's new specializing, adaptive interpreter optimizes your code. Which links to https://peps.python.org/pep-0659/ https://peps.python.org/pep-0659/ with a lot more details.

  The source has always been compiled to bytecode. Now after running your code for a bit, the interpreter makes a copy in memory to optimize as it notices patterns. Like more complicated automatic caches.
