In case I didn't make it clear in the previous message, I'm talking = about implementing a C-based Prothon interpreter (CProthon) by heavily = modifying the C-based Python interpreter (CPython). This would be done carefully = in a way that would keep the Python C-based extensions compatible. The Prothon language itself would not be compatible with the Python = language so any part of the library written in Python would need to be manually ported. There would be a utility to textually replace Python constructs with Prothon constructs but this would only accomplish 90% of the = porting. So this will not be exactly the same as Prothon on .Net where multiple languages can use the library with 100% compatibility, but it will be = quite close, since the most interesting libraries are C extensions and the = Python to Prothon porting will be easy.
