Hi all, I have just released version 0.0.10 of Shed Skin, an optimizing Python-to-C++ compiler. It allows for translation of pure (unmodified), implicitly statically typed Python programs into optimized C++, and hence, highly optimized machine language. Many non-trivial benchmarks (ray tracer, chess player, othello player, sat solver, 3 sudoku solvers..) run typically 2-40 times faster than when using Psyco, 12 times on average, and 2-220 times than when using CPython, 45 times on average. Besides many bug fixes, this release adds many error messages for unsupported features, so it should be much easier to try out the compiler and work around problems. Please download this new release from http://mark.dufour.googlepages.com and let me know about any problems/successes. Thanks, Mark Dufour. -- if vars: self.output('; '.join([self.type(var)+' '+name for (name,var) in vars.items()])+';')
