[Edu-sig] Python's keywords and functions convertor into native language for lowering entrance barrier

I think Kython is a wonderful idea, and corresponding trainers in any
Unicode language.

Ideally there'd be a Kython -> Python translator, even at the source code
level, that only swapped in the Python keywords, builtins, special names,
Standard Library names.

This looks like a "round trip" exercise (goes both ways), meaning any
Unicode community might craft something similar.

Given the isomorphisms involved (no information is lost), it seems possible
to translate from any to any.

Yes, that makes it sounds easier than it is.  Something to chip away at
over time.
