Unless you mean dynamically transforming it into Lisp at runtime, then interpreting the lisp. Or compiling the lisp bit by bit at runtime, if possible. Which probably won't get you that much of a speed boost.
Not sure what would be necessary for Python, since it is so dynamic. I have a suspicion that as it matures, the fully dynamic nature of it's object system will settle down a bit, and it will become a little easier to compile. A Common Lisp with AMOP (Art of the Metaobject Protocol) can pretty freely change just as dynamically, but it a program does it a lot, its time could easily mostly be spent generating new code.
