Hi all, I have just released version 0.0.19 of Shed Skin, an optimizing Python-to-C++ compiler. It allows for translation of pure (unmodified), implicitly statically typed Python programs into optimized C++, and hence, highly optimized machine language. This latest release adds basic support for iterators and generators, as well as a full implementation of the random module (by converting it to C++ from a Python implementation), among other things.
For more details, and a collection of 26 programs, at a total of about 7,000 lines, that work with Shed Skin (resulting in an average speedup of about 40 times over CPython and 11 times over Psyco on my computer), please visit the homepage at: http://mark.dufour.googlepages.com Thanks!
