It would be possible to do this, but it doesn't have nearly the same benefits as JIT compilation, as Alex mentioned. You could do a static compilation of all code objects in a .pyc to LLVM IR and compile that to a .so that you load at runtime, but it just eliminates the interpreter overhead. That is significant, and I think someone should try it, but I think there are far more wins to be had using feedback.
