pythran: a python to C++ compiler

positional arguments:
  input_file           the pythran module to compile, either a .py or a .cpp file

options:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  -o OUTPUT_FILE       path to generated file. Honors %{ext}.
  -P                   only run the high-level optimizer, do not compile
  -E                   only run the translator, do not compile
  -e                   similar to -E, but does not generate python glue
  -v                   be more verbose
  -w                   be less verbose
  -V, --version        show program's version number and exit
  -p pass              any pythran optimization to apply before code generation
  -I include_dir       any include dir relevant to the underlying C++ compiler
  -L ldflags           any search dir relevant to the linker
  -D macro_definition  any macro definition relevant to the underlying C++ compiler
  -U macro_definition  any macro undef relevant to the underlying C++ compiler
  --config config      config additional params
  -ftime-report        report time spent in each optimization/transformation
  --trace-allocations  instrument execution to trace memory allocations

It's a megablast!
