"production"?

     Look at Shed Skin, a hard-code compiler for Python

A hard-code compiler for the subset of Python which can easily be compiled.

Shed Skin has so many restrictions that it isn't really accurate to
describe the language which it supports as "Python".
+1

Hardly any real-world Python code can be compiled with Shed Skin. Some of
it could be changed without too much effort, although most of that is the
kind of code which wouldn't look any different if it was implemented in
C++ or Java.

Happy hacking.
