For what it's worth, it would work if the Cython sources (or even the
C intermediate sources) were "compiled" into any custom bytecode, not
necessarily Python's.  We would then write a simple interpreter for it
in RPython, which looks kind of easy.  It may seem strange, but it's
actually similar to regular expressions.

As a rather extreme solution: I wonder how useful it would be to use
gcc to cross-compile the C intermediate sources to MIPS assembler, and
write a MIPS interpreter in RPython...  (MIPS because it's apparently
a very simple instruction set)


A bientôt,

Armin.
