NAME

       Shedskin - An experimental (restricted) Python-to-C++ Compiler

SYNOPSIS

       shedskin [OPTION]... FILE

DESCRIPTION

       Shed  Skin is an experimental compiler, that can translate pure, but implicitly statically
       typed Python (2.4-2.6) programs into optimized C++. It can generate  stand-alone  programs
       or extension modules that can be imported and used in larger Python programs.

       Besides  the  typing  restriction,  programs cannot freely use the Python standard library
       (although about 25 common modules, such as random and re, are currently supported).  Also,
       not  all  Python features, such as nested functions and variable numbers of arguments, are
       supported.
