Well... They do - they are called 'C compilers' !-) As Roel Schroven mentioned - and he is at least partially right on this point - C has been designed to make optimizing C compiler not to hairy to write. > By the way, is it possible (and easy) to call a C function from a > Python program?? Possible, yes, indeed. Easy depends on your definition of easiness, but going down to C for computation-heavy performance-critical parts of a program or library is not that uncommon. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
