It is written in Python. It is a +seamless replacement or extension to the Python interpreter and +compiles **every** construct that Python 2 (2.6, 2.7) and Python 3 +(3.4 - 3.13) have, when itself run with that Python version. + +It then executes uncompiled code and compiled code together in an +extremely compatible manner. + +You can use all Python library modules and all extension modules +freely. + +Nuitka translates the Python modules into a C level program that +then uses libpython and static C files of its own to execute in +the same way as CPython does. + +All optimization is aimed at avoiding overhead, where it's unnecessary. +None is aimed at removing compatibility, although slight improvements +will occasionally be done, where not every bug of standard Python is +emulated, e.g. more complete error messages are given, but there is a +full compatibility mode to disable even that. + +Note: executables are called called "nuitka2" and "nuitka2-run" +this is per design to avoid conflict with the python3-nuitka package. |
