On the slim chance that (a) somebody worked on something like this but 
never uploaded it to PyPI, and (b) the person who did (a) or heard about 
it is reading this list ;) --

I'm looking for some code that will take a Snowball program and compile 
it into a Python script. Or, less ideally, a Snowball interpreter 
written in Python.

(http://snowball.tartarus.org/)

Anyone heard of such a thing?

Thanks!

Matt
