Hello Python lovers,
I have just released Shed Skin 0.0.5.9. It's almost where I want it to be
for 0.0.6. What remains to be coded is some kind of connection to the
standard library (probably a simple one at first: working only for
'opaque handlers'). I also want to improve cases where ints and floats
are mixed, since this is quite common. Some major changes:
-basic exception handling
(support for custom ones, and for some builtins such as ValueError,
KeyError and AssertionError; this will allow for implementation of
iterator objects later on)
-some basic inheritance
(no multiple inheritance yet, or weird stuff; this enabled me to add
the 340-line pygmy raytracer to the test set. it becomes about 40
times faster here..)
-keyword arguments
(this has not been tested very well yet - let me know about any problems)
-many missing minor 'set' features, thanks to reports by bearophile
(it should be practically complete now. the whole set of builtins is
nearing completion :D time to start optimizing stuff..)
-many, many bugfixes again, again mostly thanks to bearophile
I added four new 'big' programs to the test set that (with some minor
modifications) work now: a tic-tac-toe player for arbitrary size
boards, a simple genetics algorithm, a linear algebra program and the
mentioned raytracer. Finally, the README has been improved again,
though it's still pretty bad.
After the release of 0.0.6 I plan to create a web site with
performance comparisons between CPython, Psyco and Shed Skin (perhaps
even PyPy :P), because quite some interesting
programs compile now, and Shed Skin is usually a lot faster than
Psyco, except when Python builtins are the bottleneck. I guess some
more STL magic is required here..
Let the small code fragments that fail flowing!
Mark.

I've been following this project with great interest. If you don't
mind me asking, can you please include links, if available, when you
post updates?
Great Stuff! Keep in coming!

After nine months of hard work, I am proud to introduce my baby to the
world: an experimental Python-to-C++ compiler. It can convert many
Python programs into optimized C++ code, without any user intervention
such as adding type declarations. It uses rather advanced static type
inference techniques to deduce type information by itself. In
addition, it determines whether deduced types may be parameterized,
and if so, it generates...

Hi!
Shed Skin is an experimental Python-to-C++ compiler. Along with
GNU/Linux, version 0.0.2 should now also install easily under Windows
2000/XP and OSX. Please give it a try and let me know if there are
still some problems.
If you would like to help me improve Shed Skin, please send me small
code snippets, preferrably extracted from real-life use cases, that
the compiler has problems with.

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...

Hi all,
I have just released Shed Skin 0.0.5. It fixes many bugs and adds many
minor features to the Python builtins, most notably, the 'set' class.
There have also been some optimizations on the C++ side. Finally, the
README now better explains the compiler's limitations, and a TODO file
has been added containing open bugs.
I would like to invite anyone to try out this new version, especially
if there were problems with 0.0.4. If you...

Hello all,
As Bearophile pointed out, I have just released Shed Skin 0.0.8. For
those of you that do not know Shed Skin, it is an optimizing
Python-to-C++ compiler, that allows for translation of pure
(unmodified) Python programs into optimized machine language. The
speed of generated code is typically 2-40 times, 12 on average, faster
than when using Psyco, and 2-220 times, 45 on average, than when using
CPython, for a sizeable set of...

Hi all,
After getting bogged down with work for a few months, I'm finally back
to Shed Skin development. I have just released 0.0.15, with the
following changes:
-python2.5 support/compatibility
-any, all, conditional expression support
-moved libs to 'lib' dir; made it easier to add modules (see README)
-os.stat, os.path.{split, splitext, isfile, isdir, islink, exists}

hi all,
I have just released Shed Skin 0.0.18. besides many fixes and
optimizations, this release should work on OSX and 64-bit systems
(thanks john, larry, gustavo and denis!)
more interestingly, I collected 25 'largish' programs (at a total of
more than 6,000 lines!) that work fine with Shed Skin. these can be
downloaded from the Shed Skin homepage:

Hi all,
I have recently released version 0.0.20 and 0.0.21 of Shed Skin, an
optimizing Python-to-C++ compiler. Shed Skin allows for translation of
pure (unmodified), implicitly statically typed Python programs into
optimized C++, and hence, highly optimized machine language. Besides
many bug fixes and optimizations, these releases add the following
changes:

Hi all,
I've just released Shed Skin 0.0.25. Together with the (unannounced)
0.0.24 release, there have been some interesting changes. Most
importantly perhaps, Shed Skin now caches (most) 1-length strings,
which can improve performance dramatically for string-intensive
programs. I also performed a long-overdue rewrite of the virtual
function detection code, which should work much more reliably now, at
least for relatively simple cases...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

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,...
