Yes, I think Cython would be the right tool to enable this. At least the platforms that have some kind of CPython C-API compatible layer should be relatively easy to target in a first run, and Cython could apply some adaptations in the C code to make them run better (e.g. avoid some special casing of builtins that proves to be hard to port or inefficient to emulate). > Pypy is probably the most noteworthy Python implementation that seems to be > getting left out of the discussion so far True. Although they do have a compatibility layer by now, I bet there is lots of stuff that could be done in the code that Cython generates to make extensions run faster/better/safer with PyPy. I'll take the heresy to ask on their mailing list if they think there's anything Cython can do.
