then another question:
- how fast this would be?
IIRC there was a python2c compiler, but it meet the same barriers that 
the python VM hits, like loosing lot of time in method lookup. It has 
the advantage of obfuscate the code, for those who want it, but little 
performance gain.
I remeber this from reading the StarKiller paper (python->c++ 
compiler+type_inferencer)
