Doriven is Albanian, not Romanian.

Yes, that's what ChinesePython does:

http://www.chinesepython.org/english/english.html
For what it's worth, when this came up on the Python-Dev mailing list a
few years ago, Guido gave his blessing to the idea.
I don't know how ChinesePython does it, but if I were doing this, I would
use a pre-processor that translates custom source code into Python. Here
are two joke languages that do something similar:
