> 1) Curiosity. I would like to see how well the translation goes. If there is something that works, it will look awful to the eye. Code-generators are generally not very idiomatic - they mapping is to localized to e.g. factorize out a more complex loop to something a generator might to much better.
I suggest you take a look at pyrex, a python-like language that bridges python and C by generating C. > 2) Efficiency. It is alot quicker to code something in Python.

I would learn more about Python, C++, their similarities and > differences. I also doubt that. digging into generated, non-idiomatic code won't do much for you to grasp what is behind Python or C++ as well. Think e.g. of templating, a major feature in C++ that certainly won't be utilized by a code-generator that does everything based on python C-structures and their C-API.
