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.

	  -o --noassert 	 Disable assert statements

	  -r --random		 Use fast random number generator (rand())

	  -s --strhash		 Use fast string hashing algorithm (murmur)
