Depending on your taste, you may want to tackle something like a
static analyser for python. This is not a compiler proper, but it
could potentially be more useful than yet another compiler compiling
50 % of python, and you would get some results more quickly (no need
to generate code, etc...). See e.g. http://bugs.jython.org/issue1541
for an actual implementation on a similar idea (but for jython),

cheers,

David
