PyLog only requires Python and TPG. TPG is a parser generator and is used
to parse Prolog.
PyLog is there : http://christophe.delord.free.fr/en/pylog/
TPG is there : http://christophe.delord.free.fr/en/tpg/

Prolog is translated into Python (a predicate is an object) and then
interpreted by Python. So PyLog is independant of any Prolog interpreter
but also slower.

PyLog supports backtracking but is limited by the size of the Python
stack. This may be not a problem with Stackless Python, I have to try it
some day.
