Or a C->Python-byte-code compiler.

Generating byte-code for a stack-based virtual machine used to
be fairly popular for Pascal. [I once typed in from a book a
Pascal compiler in 8080 assembly language that generate
P-code.] Generating Python byte code from Pascal wouldn't be
terribly difficult, but doing so for C would be pretty tough
because you'd have to figure out how to fake all the low-level
pointer shenanigans which C allows (or some would say depends
upon).
