Python un-plugging the Interpreter

[S.Mohideen]

Hi All,
         I was thinking about the feasbility of adjusting Python as a 
compiled language. Being said that I feel these are the following advantages 
of doing so --
 1) Using the powerful easy-to -use feature of Python programming language 
constructs.
 2) Making the program to run at par with the compiled version of C/C++ 
program- this is the main benefit which can be derived out of this.
 3) Highly re-use existing Python code for High performance application.
 4) Acheive true parallelism and performance by getting rid of the 
middle-man Interpreter and GIL.

 I know this must be appearing like a foolish idea. But I would like to know 
the opinion of people who might have thought about it.

Thanks
Moin
