If your aim is to get a faster Python, then there have been plenty of 
attempts, with varying success. Some might use type inference. (But 
PyPy, the most impressive I've seen, uses rather different methods.)

Perhaps you'd like to have go; source codes for Python are readily 
available.

(I've tried compiling for my own interpreter projects: translating 
naively to C source then compiling that. But it was slower than just 
interpreting! I think partly because it was no longer practical to use 
function inlining, and the code was more sprawling compared with a 
compact interpreter core.)
