Thanks, that looks interesting, I hadn't seen it before.  I glanced over 
the following...

http://wpython2.googlecode.com/files/Cleanup%20and%20new%20optimizations%20in%20WPython%201.1.pdf

I'm looking for a path that will also lead to creating stand alone 
executables easily.  This is a taste of that ...

I'm not sure how difficult it will be, but it looks interesting.  Note that 
they talk about outputting scheme code... clojure is very near scheme, so 
that's not surprising.  Python outputs byte_code which is a bit harder to 
convert.  We might be able to improve that part of it.

Cheers,
