Isn't this similar to the Nuitka project?

http://nuitka.net/

Nuitka has fantastic Python 3 support (up to 3.7 currently).

They're similar in concept, but very different in focus. Nuitka main goal is to be 100% compatible with cpython, something which will often mean sacrificing performance compared to pythran.

Pythran main aim is to be fast, and to achieve this they're willing to only support a small subset of python.

As Nuitka's performance gets better and Pythran starts to support more and more of python, perhaps they'll converge at some point in the future.

Nuitka produces binaries, Pythran can produce C++ source code.
