Parrot *is* a Virtual machine – for running multiple languages. The Python port for Parrot (Pynie) is very young. unladen-swallow is an attempt (amongst other things) to integrate parts of the LLVM into core CPython to provide a speedup. They are unrelated projects with different goals – but there is a VM involved in both…

From the google guys who announced unladen-swallow at the Python VM summit at PyCon.

Sounds interesting. Hopefully they can get things working nicely and in as stable way as possible. Hopefully this can increase amount of interest people have in learning of Python.

[...] Google just started a project called “Unladen Swallow” which aims to speed Python up. The goal is to replace Pythons virtual machine to a LLVM based just in time compiler. You can find more information Here and There. [...]

They are similar in that both are targeting new virtual machines, are they not? I don't know how similar they are (or aren't). I know both are registered based.

It doesn't really relate to Parrot. This is a branch of CPython. The implementation of Python on Parrot is called Pynie but there is a long way to go with it.
