Agreed, this looks like a great project!

Grumpy was supposed to accomplish the same for Python->Go, and although now abandoned, probably holds some lessons in how to design a platform to help Python projects get Rusted.

Grumpy compiled python code to fairly unreadable Go, and then quickly compiled the result. One effect of this is that a programmer could theoretically refactor the resulting Go code gradually.

Grumpy was actually forked and is still seeing development here: https://github.com/grumpyhome/grumpy

I think rustpython tries to generate the same bytecode as CPython. Not the same road.
