Shed Skin Python-to-C++ Compiler 0.0.3 Release: some fixes,3 MB Windows package

Mark Dufour

Hi all,

Thanks to the people trying out Shed Skin 0.0.2 and letting me know
about several problems they encountered. I have released an updated
version, 0.0.3. It contains some fixes, adds support for several
builtin functions (sorted, xrange..) and the Windows version is now a
mere 3 MB, instead of 20 :-)

Shed Skin's main purpose is to optimize algorithmic-like Python code,
by applying advanced global type inference techniques. It does not
support e.g. exceptions (yet), and there are currently some other
limitations. Importing modules requires some extra work on the part of
the user (see the README for details,) although some imports are
currently supported (some math, random functions and sys.argv.) What
you gain by using Shed Skin is highly optimized code (industrial C++
compiler), independent of any virtual machine. It is also possible to
create highly optimized extension modules this way.

I invite anyone to try not too large algorithmic-like programs (e.g.
AI stuff) with Shed Skin and to let me know if there are any problems.
Even though 129 test programs already work well (6 of which are larger
than 100 lines), there are still many unimplemented minor features
that I can easily fix, provided someone shows me a nice use case.
Thanks to the people that have sent me failing code snippets before!

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
