Have a look at the ShedSkin Python-to-C++ compiler:

  http://shed-skin.blogspot.com/

It has some restrictions, i.e. the code has to be written in a more or
less statically typed way.

And me too is interested in why you want to port the entire project instead
just the time critical parts?  ShedSkin might help here too.  As Cython_
or Pyrex_ do.  Both compile a subset of Python with optional static typing
to C extension modules.
