  3. Nuitka

    Nuitka is a Python compiler written in Python. It's fully compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4-3.14. You feed it your Python app, it does a lot of clever things, and spits out an executable or extension module.

    How does this fair against the python compiler nuitka? https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka.

  4. Numba

    NumPy aware dynamic Python compiler using LLVM

    The traditional approach to this these days is to translate CPython bytecode to a compiler middle-end IR, such as with numba which goes to LLVM IR.

  5. xcomp

    6502 Assembler written in Python

    Embrace test-driven development (write the tests first) at the earliest opportunity. I strongly recommend doing this before you do any big refactors as it will help you avoid breakage. I've learned from experience that this makes compiler development easier, by allowing you to target tiny code snippets instead of complete programs.

  6. py14

    Discontinued Python to C++ 14 transpiler

  7. pyrs

    Discontinued Python to Rust transpiler

  8. py2many

    Transpiler of Python to many other languages

  9. PyO3

    Rust bindings for the Python interpreter

    how about compiling it to rust? may be https://github.com/PyO3/PyO3 can help
