Python Front-end to GCC
I'd love to have a GNU Python compiler. If this project is still active, I'd love to help.
Reuse C++ native exceptions at compile time and link in some c++ exception handling code or figure out how they are implemented and use /setjmp or set/get context
Just an outstanding tool. It would be great to know upfront how feasible compiling things like system libraries, (simple)json, socket libraries, etc will go. If it's possible to completely compile...
The access to globals and other memory need a cleanup to maintain consistency across code generation
Need to implement exceptions fully Python >= 2.5 support is hard to write the grammar for so implement the 2.4 python style is simpler and more doable for now.
Make a sys.py module for the python stdlib
Implement gpython.h and lang-calls.h which holds only whats needed for the compiled language calling into runtime. Make more explicit interfaces and helpers.
Doing something like: x,y = 1,2 Doesn't compile its something i don't like very much and will leave it to later milestone.
