What’s the difference between this and Cython? I think another comment already asks about shedskin.

Cython relies heavily on the Python runtime. You cannot, for example, make a standalone binary with it. A lot of unoptimized Cython binary is just Python wrapped in C.

From a quick glance this seems to genuinely translate into native execution.

You absolutely can create a standalone binary with Cython: see the `--embed` option [1].
