  Description     : Nuitka is a fully compatible Python compiler, capable of accelerating the execution.#

Nuitka is a good replacement for the Python interpreter and compiles every
construct that CPython 2.6 and 2.7 offer. It translates the Python into a
C++ program that then uses “libpython” to execute in the same way as CPython
does, in a very compatible way.

The speed improvement is currently not very high, but the plan is to become
very compatible first, and then to optimize for speed through compile time
type inference.
