Project description

Shed Skin is an experimental compiler, that can translate pure Python programs into optimized C++. It uses advanced type inference techniques to deduce type information, so users are not requested to add any type declarations/hints. Programs have to be implicitly _statically_ typed (abstract and generic types as in C++ are supported). The speedup obtained is typically between 2-40 times over Psyco, and 2-220 over CPython. Features that are (currently) not supported: importing arbitrary standard library modules, arbitrary-size arithmetic.. (see the home page for details.)
