(updated, see comment below) There used to be another python to c++ compiler called "shed skin" it did quite a literal translation, fe python classes would turn into c++ classes and it was quite readable..... but utterly useless: a python integer would be translated into a c++ int. Where python automatically starts using a wider type this one would just wrap.
