1.32 +.SH DESCRIPTION
1.33 +Shed Skin is an experimental Python\-to\-C++ compiler designed to speed up the execution of Python programs. It converts programs written in a static subset of Python to C++. The C++ code can be compiled to executable code, which can be run either as a standalone program or as a module imported and called from CPython.
