I've heard it said, by no less a guru than Peter Norvig, that Python is a lot like Lisp without the parentheses.... at least for the basics of Python.
For pedagogical reasons, I'm wondering if it would be easy to implement a big subset of Python in Scheme. The basics of Scheme or Lisp are amazingly easy to implement. Would implementing a subset of Python in a Scheme subset be a clever way to easily implement a lot of Python? (This isn't for practical reasons....I'm just curious.)
