"Lupa is a very fast and thin wrapper around Lua or LuaJIT." "It complements Python very well. Lua is a language as dynamic as Python, but LuaJIT compiles it to very fast machine code, sometimes faster than many statically compiled languages for computational code. The language runtime is very small and carefully designed for embedding. The complete binary module of Lupa, including a statically linked LuaJIT2 runtime, only weighs some 700KB on a 64 bit machine. With standard Lua 5.1, it’s less than 400KB." https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lupa https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lupa
