Technically I think python already has an intermediate step that it uses before it starts running a script that compiles it into a lower-ish language (at least the cpython interpreter does this, it probably isn't a part of the language specification though)

The actual line between JIT languages and interpreted languages is pretty thin since I think most interpreted languages do something similar to minimize the amount that needs to be done at runtime

I think at this point in time it JIT compiles into byte code and cached which is more efficiently interpreted the next time that function is called.
