Python2CPP ?

> 1) Curiosity. I would like to see how well the translation goes.

If there is something that works, it will look awful to the eye.
Code-generators are generally not very idiomatic - they mapping is to
localized to e.g. factorize out a more complex loop to something a
generator might to much better.

I suggest you take a look at pyrex, a python-like language that bridges
python and C by generating C.

Then let it run in python.

I also doubt that. digging into generated, non-idiomatic code won't do much
for you to grasp what is behind Python or C++ as well. Think e.g. of
templating, a major feature in C++ that certainly won't be utilized by a
code-generator that does everything based on python C-structures and their
C-API.
