Comment on A high-performance, zero-overhead, extensible Python compiler using LLVM

I immediately wonder how it compares to Shedskin¹

I can say one thing - Shedskin compiles to C++, which was very compelling to me for integrating into existing C++ products. Actually another thing too, Shedskin is Open Source under GPLv3. (Like GCC.)

I looks like codon has less restrictions when compared to shed skin.

I suppose that's right, I don't think shedskin can call numpy yet, for instance. On the other hand it seems easier to put shedskin on an embedded device, for instance.
