There are a few real ones, but some only define a subset of 
the python engine bytecodes.  

Since Python runs on a byte token stack engine, writing this 
in Forth would look easy.  Especially as you don't need to 
do the compiler, just use the PC version of Python. 

The size of the task starts to grow when you notice that when 
the python byte code engine does a DUP to copy an integer, 
it not only copies the integer object reference, but must also 
bump the object reference count. 

I think it would be great to have the python byte code engine 
written in Forth.  Like Forth, python functions can return 
multiple items, and source code looks clean and simple. 

My favourite python feature is the unconstrained integers. A 
256 bit initialisation constant for FPGA memory can be operated 
on just like any other integer. 

When can we start?
