A nice python utility - Shed Skin

While checking out gnucitizen i found something really interesting for python programmers and something that need attention(there is just 1(ONE) developer doing this work 8|) and its something really nice to speed up some python programs(although im not a python programmer, but one day i'll be!)

What it's?

As the author in the code.google say it's a:

"... experimental compiler, that can translate pure, but implicitly statically typed Python programs into optimized C++. It can generate stand-alone programs or extension modules, that can be imported and used from larger Python programs.

For a set of 35 non-trivial test programs (at over 10,000 lines in total; see the shedskin-examples-0.1.1.tgz download), measurements show a typical speedup of 2-40 times over Psyco, and 2-220 times over CPython. Because Shed Skin is still in an early stage of development, however, many other programs will not compile out-of-the-box. "

Ok speed is not everything. ;)

"May the force be with you" mark.dufour, because alone that will be a bit dificult.

Frequently i see nice projects that are developed mostly by one person, its incredible, and some of them are used by a lot of people, and no one even care about the developers effort.

Ok that software wont be used by "a lot" of people, but is nice to remember the gratitude of people when they use your software that you gave for free and hoping good results.

"... Unfortunately, there is still only one active developer, so please consider joining the project! "

not only in your project ...

Maybe people fear the progress of the humanity ;)
