Pretty awesome.

What about errors at conversion time? Is there any help for that or do you just get the raw traceback of the generated code?

On exception it populates linecache so that tracebacks are normal and you can debug it normally with pdb post-mortem debugging - https://docs.python.org/3/library/pdb.html#pdb.post_mortem

Nothing else at the moment, but I've written down this point to contemplate in the nearest future -- thank you!
