I don't want to discourage you if you really want to try,
but you need to be aware that you'd be taking on a very
challenging project -- at least if you intend the compiled
code to be substantially faster than interpretation.

You should also check out what others have been doing in
this area: PyPy, Cython, Unladen Swallow.
