Parrot is the VM for Perl6 and is thus not due for official
release for at least a year or so.

Compiling Perl6 code to Parrot bytecode is an assumed project, but
compiling Python to Parrot bytecode is, AFAIK, left as an exercise to
the Python community. Heck, according to the site, they're still hacking
out bugs in Parrot's internals.

The code available at http://www.parrotcode.org/ is through CVS. They
don't have any alpha or beta releases.
