Thee are a couuple of projects designed to make Python run faster which
try to convert Python to something like C and compile it but its not a 
general
solution and the C produced isn't in any way readable.

It would be possible to write a general convertor but its value is 
debateable
since the Python style is very different to the C style. For example C is 
heavily
geared to the use of pointers and pointer arithmetic, whereas Python doesn't
have any such concept and works at a higher level.

To translate Python into C would, I suspect,  result in very inefficient C.
It would be much better to use Puython as executable Pseudo code
and then rewrite it in 'good' C.
