Shed Skin is an experimental Python-to-C++compiler. It accepts pure but implicitlystatically typed Python programs and generatesoptimized C++ code. This means that in combinationwith a C++ compiler, it allows for translation ofpure Python programs into highly efficient machinelanguage. For a set of 16 non-trivial testprograms, measurements show a typical speedup of2-40 over Psyco, about 10 on average, and 2-220over CPython, about 35 on average. Shed Skin alsooutputs annotated source code.License:GNU General Public License v3Changes:1-length string caching, improved detection of virtual functions, further set optimizations, a fix for extension modules and certain default arguments, exhaustive checking of C++ keywords, a fix for some combinations of arguments to min and max, and several minor bugfixes.
