Sounds like a fun project for you. I hope you learn a lot doing it.
That's reason enough for it. Do you plan to port all the standard
python modules as well, though? Because Python modules, both in the
standard library and third-party, are the main reasons that I use
python. For example, PyGTK. Python is a great glue language. Since it
can seamlessly interact with C and be extended in C, speed has never
really been an issue for me.
I am writing py2c for my OS written in Python (planned) .
Sounds like a fun project for you.
More fun with more developers. (I need developers)
Your earlier quote "Well, it should be quite easy because most of the
_modules are either C accelerator (which there is no need to port) or a
C wrapper (which should be trivial to port)" means that I won't be
touching the project with a 10 foot long disinfected barge pole.
