for a college project, I proposed to create a compiler for python. I've read something about it and maybe I saw that made a bad choice. I hear everyone's opinion respond.
Python itself is a highly dynamic language and not amenable to direct compilation. Instead modern just-in-time compiler technology is seen as the way to improve Python performance. Projects that are doing this are PyPy and Unladen Swallow. A static subset of Python can be statically compiled, projects that do that include RPython (part of PyPy) and ShedSkin. These are not really Python though, just Python like languages that happen to be valid subsets of Python.
All the best, Michael
