I try to support all Python syntax, any arbitray script. From the example
 attached,you can see I translate all import system libraries needed and 
produce up to 170000　lines of Go. Up to now, only support Python 2.7.6. 
Maybe I will work on Python 3 later.

I must admit that after automaticaly convert Python source to Go, compile 
to EXE, the running speed is just as before. For compatible reason, I must 
make it behave　just as it before, support any Python feathers. Take a 
example, if we find a function　call func1(2), I can not simply convert it 
to Go function call as func1_in_go(2), but　something like this: current_module_scope.GetAttributeString("func1").CallObject(2)
because func1 maybe overwrited.

I think the significance of Python to Go, is it give us opportunity to 
make Python project run fast. We may edit the output Go source. or We 
may add some Python decorator to tell the converter its safe to convert 
it in simple form.
