Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Paul Boddie <p...@boddie.org.uk>
* Package name : shedskin Version : 0.9.7 Upstream Author : Mark Dufour <mark.duf...@gmail.com> * URL : https://shedskin.github.io/ * License : GPL-3+ Programming Lang: Python Description : Python-to-C++ compiler designed to speed up Python programs Shed Skin converts programs written in a static subset of Python to C++. The C++ code can be compiled to executable code, which can be run either as a standalone program or as a module imported from Python. This package was previously included in Debian but was discarded when Python 2 ceased to be supported for most areas of distribution functionality. This software has since been updated to run using Python 3. Previously, I found a sponsor for the package via the Debian Mentors service. It might make sense to maintain this new package within the Debian Python team, and much of the packaging has been done according to their packaging standards.
