it is possible to execute Python code at speeds approaching that of fully compiled languages, by "specialization". The current prototype operates on i386-compatible processors and shows 2 to 100 times speed-ups, depending on code.
Cinpy is a Python library that allows you to implement functions with C in Python modules. Inlined C code is compiled with tcc (Tiny C Compiler) at runtime. The results are made callable in Python with ctypes library.
