A programming language is much more than a parser and AST.  It has
specific semantics, and a runtime (in the case of Python, the runtime is
very large as it hosts a lot of functionality).

So it wouldn't make much sense to have "just a parser".

However, if you are looking for an implementation of a subset of Python
using LLVM, you can take a look at Numba: http://numba.pydata.org/
