Spanish Inquisition?!

[David Oppenheimer]

In a previous thread (about languages interpreted versus languages
compiled) there was talk of the Spanish Inquisition.  I am guessing that
this is 1) a joke or 2) the code name for a "secret" project to create
compiled code from python code and thereby permanently blur the line for
Python.  Anyone know anything about this?

I know no one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition, but if its coming
I'd like to know about it.

P.S. Creating compiled code from Python  that didn't require the
interpreter to be distributed with it would be high magic indeed.
