Why on earth (unless it's the liking pies thing or the really wanting
this to be done thing) would you say that?  Flash bytecode is pretty
straightforward, and Python's not magic.

In any case, if this is a serious challenge, you'd better start
identifying the constraints and minimum requirements, as I'm
rather positive that it's possible to encode at least *one*
Python statement (print) into Flash bytecode which would
execute properly...  shall I demonstrate for, say, one pie?
