???? Hardware-accellerated python ????

This is most probably a mid-summer night dream, but ...

did anybody thought of any hardware feature which could 
accellerate the execution of python programs ?
As I see it ( admittedly, without having read a single 
line of Python's interpreter code ), the most performed 
operation should be the lookup in the object (or module) 
dictionary.
So any hardware or special instruction which accellerates 
this, would do a lot of good to the execution of  python 
programs ...

Truly, it would raise portability issues, but ...
