github reports 869 sloc from a total of 1044 lines.

But 1000 lines is still small compared with the 220,000 lines of CPython 
(and that was an old version) which is only the C code and nothing else.

If someone wants to experiment with the behaviour of a byte-code, they 
might be able to do with this project (I haven't tried), more easily 
than with the real thing.
