Python Front-end Wiki

Gccpy is an ongoing project to allow users to compile Python Code as an AOT (ahead of time) compiled language.

Why

Gccpy serves as a prototype and work in progress on how GCC can provide a solid platform for compiler development, not just for low-level languages but for anything. Gccpy differs in approach to other python implementations such as pyrex/cython/shed-skin. This is a branch new fresh approach to python and complete re-implementation of everything, we have no dependency on libpython.so
