so the conclusion really is: CPython is way slower than it should be. Question: if the subset is small, isn't it better to use something like 'shed skin' ? http://code.google.com/p/shedskin/ http://code.google.com/p/shedskin/ I once looked at it, and it does a fairly literal translation. The only problem is that it changes semantics of the primitive types. For example a python integer becomes a C++ int. (and overflow semantics change)
