Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How to make a c++ python extension?
The approach that I favour is to use Cython. The nice thing with this approach is that your code is still written as (almost) Python, but so long as you define all required types correctly it will automatically create the C extension for you. Early versions of Cython required using Cython specific typing (Python didn't have type hints when Cython was created), but it can now use Python's type hints.

Never again
and again, everything that was released after using an older version of cython.

Codon: Python Compiler
Just for reference,
* Nuitka[0] "is a Python compiler written in Python. It's fully compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11."
* Pypy[1] "is a replacement for CPython" with builtin optimizations such as on the fly JIT compiles.
* Cython[2] "is an optimising static compiler for both the Python programming language and the extended Cython programming language... makes writing C extensions for Python as easy as Python itself."
* Numba[3] "is an open source JIT compiler that translates a subset of Python and NumPy code into fast machine code."
* Pyston[4] "is a performance-optimizing JIT for Python, and is drop-in compatible with ... CPython 3.8.12"

Any faster Python alternatives?
Profile and optimize the hotspots with cython (or whatever the cool kids are using these days... It's been a while.)
-
What exactly is 'JIT'?
JIT essentially means generating machine code for the language on the fly, either during loading of the interpreter (method JIT), or by profiling and optimizing hotspots (tracing JIT). The language itself can be statically or dynamically typed. You could also compile a dynamic language ahead of time, for example, cython.

Python running on the Dart VM?
I found at least one project that managed to compile python AOT to LLVM https://github.com/exaloop/codon. Even if LLVM is more expressive than Dart Kernel, that should at least be some evidence that this might not be too impractical.

Codon: Python Compiler
Their fannkuch benchmark seems to be a bit dishonest. They claim an enormous perf delta on https://exaloop.io/benchmarks.html but fannkuch uses factorial a lot and they define factorial with a very small (n=20) table: https://github.com/exaloop/codon/blob/fb461371613049539654c1...
Disclaimer: I've worked on several Python runtimes and compilers, but I'm not by any means out to get Codon. Just happened across this by accident while looking at their inline LLVM, which is neat.

SWIG - SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages.
Nuitka - Nuitka is a Python compiler written in Python. It's fully compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11. You feed it your Python app, it does a lot of clever things, and spits out an executable or extension module.
