Now this might sound a bit stupid but I've only been programming in
python for about 6 months and before that about the same on VB. Anyway
here goes, as python is built in C & C++ surely every piece of python
code has a corresponding piece of C/C++ albeit more complex. So would
it be possible to somehow make a program to convert the Python to C &
C++ which can then be compiled with a C/C++ compiler.
