However, a project that would be interesting - and that I have wanted to do in order to program microcontrollers with very small memory address spaces [1] - would be to compile a static subset of Python down to C. That would be an excellent project -- if the result were successful, I'd be interested in using it!

I thought RPython already supported this? (admittedly, my knowledge of of the inner workings of PyPy is fairly sketchy, but I thought static compilation of RPython to a variety of backend targets was one of the key building blocks)

Cheers, Nick.
