    I'm not sure that the Python interpreter actually does dream, but if it's
    anything like me, it's probably a giant computer the size of a bus, made
    out of broccoli and oven-roasted garlic, that suddenly turns into
    Sylvester Stallone in a tutu just before my program returns its result.

    Is it anything special over multi-use cores/cpus/systa?

      Dream... I dont know, but hardware for the Python interpreter, yes.

        Maybe something with hardware string hashing, plus maybe other
        primitives.

          Apologies for diverging even further:

          First time I ate at an Australian Outback (if I remember the name correctly)
          I got to experience the Blooming Onion. Now that was quite a 'wth'
          experience. Tasted nice though. But talk about weird...

              No, YOU are! The brain isn't dream hardware at all, let alone for
              Python. Notwithstanding , maybe looking at the machine-level
              instructions that execute during would lend a hand to the question...
