You know, if anyone is really up for some fun, they could try to port Cython's 
grammar to be a modification of python4ply:

   http://www.dalkescientific.com/Python/python4ply.html

One could write .pyx files in the restricted subset supported by the pure 
Python 
mode. pyximport could be changed to try to compile the .pyx file as Cython if 
possible. If a compiler is not available, or if the user has told pyximport to 
use pure Python mode, then it will just compile the file to Python bytecode as 
supported by python4ply.
