I think it's clear noone really knows why this hasn't been done
yet. Even on this list, whose users are presumably well clued-in 
about Python, I've heard:

  ``you're welcome to volunteer.''

  ``Nobody cared enough to do it.''

I'm sure writing a compiler isn't easy, and I wasn't suggesting
that. However, head-way (Psycho) has been made in a very short
period of time, so it hardly seems impossible given enough time
and effort.

I think such an effort would be well worth it.
