This opens a huge number of choices - for example you could implement
the Python VM in Lisp, or the Lisp VM in Python. You could also run
the normal Python interpreter written in C in a C interpreter like
cint [http://root.cern.ch/root/Cint.html] (Interestingly enough, cint
seems to be Open Source Software by Hewlett-Packard). Not even to
mention writing a C interpreter in Python, or to generate a gcc
backend which translates assembler code into Python bytecode...
in what language the world might be interpreted ?
But I would certainly like to see a Python VM written in Modula-3..
