The discussion around Python's Meta Circular Interpreter highlights various use cases like extracting coverage and call graphs. While these features underscore the potential of the interpreter, some users argue that many of these use cases can already be accomplished through existing methods like tracing with `sys.settrace`. The general sentiment suggests that while these methods may facilitate experimentation, they may not be pragmatic for production environments, with alternatives like module import hooks and AST rewriting also mentioned as viable options.
