Shed Skin

What is Shed Skin?

The Shed Skin compiler offers a unique approach to optimizing Python programs by translating them into efficient C++ code. This tool allows developers to leverage the strengths of both Python and C++, enabling them to write intuitive, Pythonic code while benefiting from the performance advantages of a lower-level language. The compiler handles implicit static type information in the original Python source, generating stand-alone programs or extension modules that can be seamlessly integrated into larger Python applications. This versatile solution empowers developers to enhance the speed and efficiency of their Python-based projects without sacrificing the expressive power and ease of use that Python provides

Highlights

• Translates Python (2.4-2.6) programs into optimized C++ code
• Generates stand-alone programs or extension modules for use in Python applications
• Leverages implicit static type information in the original Python source
• Enables developers to benefit from the performance advantages of C++ without abandoning the Python ecosystem
