Shedskin Architecture

[Prankster]

I was wondered about how shedskin is converted python program into c++???
I am interested in shedskin development.I would like to know  its basic mechanism means how it converts python to  c++?
Has it any toolchain like pypy??wht makes it is faster than cpythan??

Hi Prankster!
(is that your first name?)

Probably someone will give you a proper explanation. But for a quick answer, I can suggest you to read the code.
It's quite self explanatory.
From there you can get more specific questions and post them back here.

Cheers!

Hi Joaquin,
                 I have seen many codes that generated by shedskin.I want to contribute something in shedskin development.
u didn't get my point.I  would like to know shedskins internal architecture i meant which algorithm has been used??
What are steps for converting python to c++ I meant compiler phases??

cheers

Have a look at Mark's master thesis¹: while the algorithms described
there have changed with time, this should be a good starting point.

CPython + GCC + GNU Make

You also need to have boehm gc and PCRE.

Please note that Shedskin is not *always* faster than CPython. It's
often the case because compiling Python with Shedskin means that your
code will be translated to native machine code, whereas CPython is
/mostly/ an interpreter (it doesn't even have a JIT — PyPy does). It
also means that you can get the benefits of a very mature C++ compiler
like GCC for optimizations.
