Something I've long been curious about (but never even come close to having the time to research) is the idea of using CPython extensions with PyPy. It sounds like that would involve an effort in a similar vein to porting Ironclad to Jython (i.e. porting the back end to PyPy instead).
I'd love to see someone from PyPy comment on this too. IIUC they aren't particularly keen -- their approach so far has been based on porting existing C extensions to use ctypes, which they *do* support.
Well, IronPython now has ctypes too (as of IronPython 2.6) - so porting C extensions to ctypes is still a better approach for cross implementation portability. Michael
