I can see this possibly being a good learning experience for people
wanting to get into Python core programming.  Obviously it won't be the
same as CPython, but since it will need to stay compatible it could easily
be a good way to understand the concepts in how the language is designed
before jumping into the full-fledged C core; this is especially true if
most of it is written in Python.
