In which sense is shedskin a more "real" python to C/C++ compiler than
some of the other mentioned projects? As most of the others (PyPy,
Pyrex), Shedskin works only for a small number of Python programs that
don't mix types too wildly.
BTW: While the RPython (the subset of the Python language that PyPy can
compile) might not be extremely advanced, using it gives you a number of
very interesting features: like having the resulting program been
enhanced to not use the C stack (for deeply recursive code), using
different garbage collection strategies...
