Actually, between imcc and the python compiler module, it's not nearly as hard as I thought it would be. So far, I think the parrot version is actually a lot simpler than the python compiler, just because imcc is doing so much of the work.
Leo and I (and the rest of us) like to hear comments like this that actually validate the work put into the tools. Although they have a long way to go, its a heck of a lot nicer than this time a year ago.
Thanks again,
