* Package name : pythran Version : 0.9.12 Upstream Author : Serge Guelton <serge.guel...@telecom-bretagne.eu> * URL : https://github.com/serge-sans-paille/pythran * License : BSD Programming Lang: Python/C++ Description : an ahead of time compiler for Python Pythran is an ahead of time compiler for a subset of the Python language, with a focus on scientific computing. It takes a Python module annotated with a few interface descriptions and turns it into a native Python module with the same interface, but (hopefully) faster. It is meant to efficiently compile scientific programs, and takes advantage of multi-cores and SIMD instruction units. Pythran is starting to get used upstream in some of our numerical packages, including dolfinx. Pythran is a general tool for accelerating the execution of python modules, so more suited for team management by the debian-python team. But the use-case is mainly in scientific programming so the debian-science team may like to take it on. It may require some dependencies to be packaged: gast beniget
