Great work.  You might want to advertise this on the main site
(currently it states that this is impossible).

You've said somewhere that you didn't/don't plan on working on this
aspect, but it is surely the "killer feature" of shed skin needed to
for it to be able to be used as pyrex is currently (optimizing bits of
larger projects).

Of course, the perfect synthesis would be to combine the two projects
into something that applied type inferencing with a fallback to python
vm when necessary <g>.  But there is such a large gap betwixt the
twain that such dreaming is but an excercise in fantasy (there's
always pypy).

I wish I had time to help,
