I've heard that this is not easy at all. iirc gcc can only really make code for register-based systems. the java back end is apparently a big hack that basically sidesteps all the gcc internals. On Wednesday, January 22, 2003, at 03:33 PM, Thomas Fanslau wrote:

But lately I read about porting that C-Code to Python and I have a question/suggestion that may be a serious candidate for the most stupid idea :)

Shouldn't it be possible to write a (small) backend to gcc to generate python-bytecode? So you can translate the C-Part of Python (or any other C-Code :) to python-bytecode and run it. That should be easier then all the other suggestions and allows you to replace the C-Code Module for Module ...
