That's like saying "Unicode adds a big chunk of complexity to the simple task of translating a word from Japanese into Russian". No, it doesn't; the complexity is inherent in the problem. You cannot translate Python code into C code without either (a) reimplementing all of Python's semantics, as Cython does; or (b) drastically changing the semantics, such that even the very simplest of code might behave quite differently; or (c) manually reading through the code and writing equivalent C, which is what you might call "porting" or "rewriting". (Or possibly "prototyping", if the intention was always to transform it into C.) There is fundamentally NO easy way to translate code from one language into another and get readable, idiomatic code at the other end. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
