TCL != Python.
There already is a Python-to-C compiler that converts Python to C, but it
uses Python's existing datatypes, so it's more of a simple translation than
a real compilation pass. It's not that simple to make it more efficient and
keep Pythons' current extensibility and introspection abilities.

The Python bytecode compiler already does this.
