Hi all, I have just released version 0.0.19 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. This latest release adds basic support for iterators and generators, as well as a full implementation of the random module (by converting it to C++ from a Python implementation), among other things.
