Shed skin doesn't support exceptions yet though, which is a fairly major omission unfortunately. Pypy by comparison does, and can compile modules for import into python. Shed skin unfortunately doesn't do the latter. However, personally I think shed skin is pretty stellar - the C++ code it generates is (a lot) more readable than a lot of C++ code I've seen generated by people :-) Indeed. shed skin might be an interesting way for python programmers to learn C++ ;-) (I know, wrong list :) Definitely worth keeping an eye on though :) Regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
