What would you call PyPy?

As to the idea of a python-to-machine code translator, the
benefit would not be very great without at least a PyPy
level of understanding of the code -- no simple translation
would be much faster than the CPython implementation.

By the way, be careful about your tone.  It sounds like
brick-throwing in this generally friendly newsgroup.
