Have you thought about using a JVM as the Python runtime? AFAIK the PyPy team already uses a restricted subset of Python ( called RPython ) to translate type annotated RPython flowgraphs to several backends including Java. Therefore it seems not necessary to write a new Jython compiler or CPython runtime. JVMs are all around also for ARM processors. Kay -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
