Converting Python Virtual Machine Code to C
نویسنده
چکیده
The optimization of a Python program has a limit point, beyond which a programmer must resort to C code in order to get more speed. Not all programmers are willing or able to take this step. 211 is an experimental program which automatically converts Python virtual machine code into C. In this paper I discuss 211, its results, and suggest changes to Python’s internals which should yield better results and faster programs.

Using machine translation for converting Python 2 to Python 3 code
In this paper, we have tried to use Statistical machine translation in order to convert Python 2 code to Python 3 code. We use data from two projects and achieve a high BLEU score. We also investigate the cross-project training and testing to analyze the errors so as to ascertain differences with previous case. We have described a pilot study on modeling programming languages as natural languag...
متن کاملAn Implementation of Python for DrRacket
The Python programming language is becoming increasingly popular in a variety of areas, most notably among novice programmers. This paper presents an implementation of Python for DrRacket which allows Python programmers to use DrRacket’s features with Python code, as well as adding Python support for DrRacket based tools, such as Rosetta. The suggested approach involves compiling Python code in...
متن کاملAn Implementation of Python for Racket
Racket is a descendent of Scheme that is widely used as a first language for teaching computer science. To this end, Racket provides DrRacket, a simple but pedagogic IDE. On the other hand, Python is becoming increasingly popular in a variety of areas, most notably among novice programmers. This paper presents an implementation of Python for Racket which allows programmers to use DrRacket with ...
متن کاملunPython: Converting Python Numerical Programs into C
unPython is a Python-to-C compiler intended for numerical Python programs. The compiler takes as input type-annotated Python source and produces C source code for an equivalent extension module. The compiler is NumPy-aware and can convert most NumPy indexing or slicing operations into C array accesses. Furthermore the compiler also allows annotating certain for-loops as parallel and can generat...
متن کاملTransactional Runtime Extensions for Dynamic Language Performance
We propose exposing best-effort atomic execution, as provided by a simple hardware transactional memory (HTM), in a managed runtime’s bytecode interface. Dynamic language implementations built on such a runtime can generate more efficient, code, using speculation to eliminate the overhead and obstructions to optimization incurred by code needed to preserve rarely used language semantics. In thi...
