  3. 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 | 2025-06-15

    In 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.

    Project mention: Supply Chain Alert: Sipeed's Official COMTools Software Flagged as Trojan | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-10

    Project mention: Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025) | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-12-14

    At least in principle, I'm still working on PAPER (https://github.com/zahlman/paper). (Or I should say "resumed"; I was having a rough time of it mentally in the summer through October or so and didn't really get any actual coding done.)

    This has most recently involved a side diversion into a little tree-processing library (where file hierarchies are a special case) — Show HN within the next day or two, fingers crossed — and setting up a fork of https://github.com/pypa/packaging to support EOL Python (back to 3.6) and make some general simplifications (because even this is a fairly large wheel compared to the target project size).

    Hoping I can kick myself back into the blogging habit again soon, too.

  11. distro

    A much more elaborate replacement for Python's removed `platform.linux_distribution()` method (by python-distro)
