> So they will require quite an elaborate runtime library. No kidding. The most realistic methods for compiling Python are probably something like Nuitka, which basically turns Python code into CPython API calls, bypassing the step of parsing bytecode at runtime. So it started out 100% compatible with CPython but only marginally faster, and then they started adding some optimizations. http://kayhayen24x7.homelinux.org/blog/nuitka-a-python-compiler/ http://kayhayen24x7.homelinux.org/blog/nuitka-a-python-compi...
