for a college project, I proposed to create a compiler for python. I've read something about it and maybe I saw that made a bad choice. I hear everyone's opinion respond.

I don't think everyone thinks this is a bad idea -- for instance, those of us working on Cython [1], which is itself a descendant of Pyrex [2]. :)

I hate to remind you but Cython is not python. It does not even plan to support all of the parts which are considered python semantics (like tracebacks and frames).
