Nuitka
Nuitka is a Python compiler written in Python. It's fully compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4-3.13. You feed it your Python app, it does a lot of clever things, and spits out an executable or extension module.
Project mention: Lisp-stat: Lisp environment for statistical computing | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-15In my view, the biggest advantages of ahead-of-time compilation is lower binary size, higher performance, and binary portability (in a sense of being able to copy the binary and run it on another system with same architecture and OS, not in the usual sense of being easy to run to a different system architecture or OS).
It is somewhat unknown that Python itself can be compiled, using Nuitka [0] compiler. It still runs Python code, so the performance increase is not as extreme as one would get from rewriting in a fully statically typed code, but the AOT compiled C code is still faster than the interpreter.
