NAME
Shedskin - An experimental (restricted) Python-to-C++ Compiler
SYNOPSIS
shedskin [OPTION]... FILE
DESCRIPTION
Shed Skin is an experimental compiler, that can translate pure, but implicitly statically typed Python (2.4-2.6) programs into optimized
C++. It can generate stand-alone programs or extension modules that can be imported and used in larger Python programs.
Besides the typing restriction, programs cannot freely use the Python standard library (although about 25 common modules, such as random
and re, are currently supported). Also, not all Python features, such as nested functions and variable numbers of arguments, are supported.
OPTIONS

-b --nobounds Disable bounds checking
-e --extmod Generate extension module
-f --flags Provide alternate Makefile flags
-l --long Use long long integers
-m --makefile Specify alternate Makefile name
-n --silent Silent mode, only show warnings
-o --noassert Disable assert statements
-r --random Use fast random number generator (rand())
-s --strhash Use fast string hashing algorithm (murmur)
-w --nowrap Disable wrap-around checking
