IMHO Prolog is mostly a way of thinking, of designing your software. Making a blazingly fast compiler is an art, but the basic interpreter at the heart of prolog is fairly straight forward to design yourself. Prolog isn't as old as LISP, but keep in mind it had useful applications on contemporary hardware in the 1970s. If you're interested in doing Prolog with Python, have a look at projects like: https://github.com/photonlines/Python-Prolog-Interpreter
