I'm a bit surprised by the approach. Why don't you simply process 
CPython bytecode, rather than strive to reimplement Python fully?

Also, I wonder if it's worthwhile to use a conservative GC, rather than 
reuse the original refcounting scheme (especially since you want to 
support existing extension modules).
