I'm sorry to reply so late - basically, after a consultation with the professors, we were recommended to start out on our own, to really learn how to write a VM and make it fast, before going on to more ambitious projects. The target we have settled on is for now to write a Python bytecode interpreter with threading and code-copying, and then try to work on the GC. We'll see if we get any interesting results (but since we are not aiming to implement the full Python semantics, I guess it will be pretty easy to be faster than a full-blown interpreter).
