I fully agree! Still think that a Python to C++ translator should work, then you can use one of the existing C++ compilers. Heck, a lot of Python modules are written in C++. Googling around, there have been some early attempts at this. There is also a Java to C# translator by Microsoft, and an open-source basic to C translator that seems to do very well.

The problem with a Python to C++ translator is that whoever writes it has to be very familiar with both languages.
