I suggest you check out the competitors:
Shedskin is a Python to C++ compiler;
Psyco is a JIT specialising compiler;
Nuitka claims to be a C++ implementation that compiles to machine code;
Berp claims to be a Haskell implementation that does the same;
Compyler claims to be a native x86 assembly compiler;
UnPython claims to be an experimental Python to C compiler.
Of the six, as far as I know only Shedskin and Psyco are widely used.
Erm, yes, right. If you want to exclude Cython, which arguably is the only
static Python compiler that actually has a large user base, then those may
really be the only two that are widely used. Except that Psyco is certainly
being used a lot more often than Shedskin, mainly because it actually
allows you to execute Python code.
