Oh, sorry, I have forgotten to add something in my post: In the end I don't like ShedSkin much, because it used a huge amount of type inference, this makes it slow, and maybe not scalable to programs larger than few thousand lines. (So I like statically both typed languages and dynamically typed ones, and ones with quick and smart type inferencing, but I don't like the heavy type inferencing of ShedSkin). Note that ShedSkin programs are quite less mantainable (and less safe) than Python ones. So I was talking about something more like Boo (that is mostly statically typed). Bye, bearophile
