Shed skin doesn't support exceptions yet though, which is a fairly major
omission unfortunately. Pypy by comparison does, and can compile
modules for import into python. Shed skin unfortunately doesn't do the
latter.

However, personally I think shed skin is pretty stellar - the C++ code
it generates is (a lot) more readable than a lot of C++ code I've seen
generated by people :-)

Indeed. shed skin might be an interesting way for python programmers to
learn C++ ;-) (I know, wrong list :)

Definitely worth keeping an eye on though :)
