But what about this:

Python source --(Python JIT)--> Java bytecode --> JVM + JIT --> C

Meaning: instead of Python interpreter written in Java to
have Python JIT (or ahead of time compiler) (written in Java) generating
directly Java bytecode and use JVM.

(in case of ahead of time compiler it can be written in C)
