> Chris, i'm sorry, but your challenge is decades too late. If you seek amusement you need look no further than the Python stdlib. If you REALLY want to be amused, peruse the "idlelib" -- not only is the code obfuscated, it also breaks PEP8 and the PYTHON ZEN many times over.

To translate: Not only is the code impossible to read, inefficient and
unmaintainable whilst being only shallowly correct, but, *GASP* it
sometimes *breaks* semi-arbitrary code *style* *suggestions*! How dare it!‽
