I have to thank sametmax for mentioning this project in a separate thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16978932).

The project is indeed really astounding. 5000 clean commits, solid developer and user documentation, open source license, etc. And this solves, among other things, a very big and common problem for the Python community (packaging end-user apps).

Just look at that README: https://github.com/kayhayen/Nuitka/blob/develop/README.rst

Just LOOK at that developer manual: https://nuitka.net/doc/developer-manual.html

Dang.

This looks fantastic!

I wonder, does this make use of the new type annotations that were introduced with Python 3.5? I don't know much about compilers, but I guess those could be used (heavily) for performance optimization, like in Cython, no?

No it doesn't but it's planned i believe. Although the author really could use support. Personnaly i donate, my c skills being zero.
