The whole point of homoiconicity is that a language (lisp) is implemented in itself. This is lisp implemented in python (not itself).

[Zamiel_Snawley]

I thought the point of homoiconicity was essentially runtime reflection and evaluation of programs constructed at runtime, i.e. code is a first class datatype in the language.

I don't think these properties imply much about the underlying implementation of the language.
