Fast solution to Subset sum algorithm by Pisinger

This is a follow-up to my previous question. I still find it very interesting problem and as there is one algorithm which deserves more attention I'm posting it here.

From Wikipedia: For the case that each xi is positive and bounded by the same constant, Pisinger found a linear time algorithm.

There is a different paper which seems to describe the same algorithm but it is a bit difficult to read for me so please - does anyone know how to translate the pseudo-code from page 4 (balsub) into working implementation?

Here are couple of pointers I collected so far:

http://www.diku.dk/~pisinger/95-6.ps (the paper)
https://stackoverflow.com/a/9952759/1037407
http://www.diku.dk/hjemmesider/ansatte/pisinger/codes.html

PS: I don't really insist on precisely this algorithm so if you know of any other similarly performant algorithm please feel free to suggest it bellow.

Edit

This is a Python version of the code posted bellow by oldboy:

class view(object):
    def __init__(self, sequence, start):
        self.sequence, self.start = sequence, start
    def __getitem__(self, index):
        return self.sequence[index + self.start]
    def __setitem__(self, index, value):
        self.sequence[index + self.start] = value
