 **Task 2**
 
-Port the built-in Python library to PyPy
-(functions, types and modules currently implemented in C).
-Decide on a case-by-case basis which features are to
-be implemented using RPython or just general Python.
+Port the Python "builtin" library of types, functions and
+classes to PyPy (most of them are currently implemented in C).
+Research and decide on a case-by-case basis how to implement

 **Task 3**
 
-Implement a Python parser and bytecode compiler in Python.
-Leverage existing research and implementation techniques.
