I've never actually downloaded shedskin, but my understanding is that it: + does type inference for speed, but means you're working with a subset of python. + Generates C++ so you need an intermediate compiler (probably only an issue on windows) + Generates code via the AST. OTOH, compyler: + has the exact same semantics as compiler code. I was more concerned with this than performance payoffs. + generates .COFF files that are ready for linking. + Skips syntax tree processing and just assumes the default bytecode is a good enough starting point. I was going to say you couldn't make a .pyd in ShedSkin, but it looks like you can do that too. -Grant -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
