It is probably not relevant anymore as it looks like you are leaning 
towards .NET but:

Python would have one parser and Prothon would have another. The two 
would share a VM, just as two parsers can run on the same VM on .NET.

90% of bytecodes would be shared between Python and Prothon but there 
might be a few that would be unique to each.
