hi all, I have just released Shed Skin 0.7.1, an optimizing (restricted!) Python-to-C++ compiler. It comes with some important extension module fixes, optimizations for several builtins (zip, min, max, map, filter, reduce, pow), a warning for non-uniform tuples of length > 2 and some minor fixes and internal cleanups.
There are also two nice new examples (a quantum monte carlo simulator and an rsync implementation), bringing the count to 54 example programs, for a total of around 15,000 lines of code (as measured by sloccount). Please see my blog for the full announcement: http://shed-skin.blogspot.com Or go straight to the homepage: http://shedskin.googlecode.com Please have a look at the tutorial, try it out, and file any problems in the issue tracker. I'm also always very interested in hearing about potential new programs to add to the example set!
