Anyone heard of such a thing?
I never saw snowball before, it looks kind of interesting, and it
looks like it already has a way to compile to C. If you're using
it for IR on any scale, you're surely much better off using the C
routines with a C API wrapper,
If the C routines are in a shared library, you should be able to write
the interface in Python with ctypes.
than translating snowball to
Python, which will be dog slow to interpret.
