PyPy was supposed to help, but that project has been dragging on
for half a decade now. Personally, I think the Shed Skin approach
is more promising. PyPy has too many different goals, and tends
to generate lots of auxiliary tools, blogs, videos, and "sprints",
but not a usable PyPy compiler.
We'll have to see if PyPy 1.1 works.
