I like PICT - Python Interpreter Compiler Toolchain.

There is already a PICT (microcontrollers I think) so what about:

PyCT: Python Compiler Toolchain.

For the Translator tool chain i suggest to avoid a Py prefix and 
also avoid the python compiler association. Here's why:

* I'd like to encourage VM developüers who identify with other languages 
  to consider using the xxx tool chain instead of C/JVM/NET to 
  implement their VM. 

* Compiling Python easily stirs the misconception that the
  focus is on statically compiling Python apps.  

best,
holger

We could just call it rpython, since that's what it is.

I think that both vmdjinn and djynn are almost impossible to
pronunciate. Btw, I think I miss what they mean and/or refer to. Are
they acronyms?

 Once you know how to pronounce the reference, the proposed names become
 easier to pronounce.

ahah, now everything it's much clearer, thanks!
And yes, I like it :-)
