I think a lot of the advice, links and references already made in this thread are very good. I'd also recommend Peter Norvig's "(How to Write a (Lisp) Interpreter (in Python))" [1] and "(An ((Even Better) Lisp) Interpreter (in Python))" [2]. In the first, he walks the reader through writing a very small lisp interpreter (90 lines of Python), and in the second he shows how to make it more robust.
