[CentralOH] Nuitka vs Cython

[James Bonanno]

In another follow up from last week, I compiled some basic programs with 
Nuitka. It's actually somewhat impressive that you can compile a static 
python program to a standalone C++ executable. For the various reasons 
that I talked about last week, I still prefer Cython. However, Nuitka is 
promising ...

Below I show a python file, math.py, that is compile to an executable in 
one command line statement.

%% file math.py

def fib(n):
     """Print the Fibonacci series up to n."""
     a, b  = 0, 1
     index = 0
     while b < n:
         print ("%d, %d, \n" % (index, b) )
         a, b   = b, a + b
         index += 1


if __name__=="__main__":
     fib(1000)

Here I compile with Nuitka and execute, in standalone mode:
