I believe pyrex allows you to write very python-like code but build a binary extension module from it that runs at nearly C speed. ISTR it does generate .c files. There's also shedskin, which I believe is a static python -> C++ translator that was written as part of google's summer of code. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
