Hm, I think it would be more exciting to construct a small Python engine
using redstone.

(I actually went pretty far trying to build a tiny, functional CPU using
redstone. I can tell you it's tedious work. Makes you appreciate the
advances in transistor density in the past half-century. Too bad
redstone is glitchy -- by design, I suppose. After your contraption
becomes large enough, it keeps glitching out and you spend all your time
debugging and repairing it.)
