title: Python CPU and OS
body: <p>Wouldn't it be possible to have an OS entirely in Python if the Python VM itself is build into a hardware? Something like the good old Lisp Machine?<br>
  Suppose I have a cpu that is the hardware implementation of the python virtual machine, then all programs written in python would perform with the speed of assembly, won't it (but Python is mostly interpreted but we can compile it)?<br>
  If we have such a 'python-microprocessor', what about the memory and other subsystems? Would it be compatible with the current memory.<br>
  Is there any information on the registers and the Python VM architecture, something similar to what we have for 8086?  </p>
