Hi Victor. I'm willing to explain to you details why having LLVM does not solve almost any issues and why PyPy is complex, or why you think it's complex. Find me on IRC if you want (fijal, can be found on #pypy on freenode for example). In our opinion something like psyco that gets brought to the levels of speed of pypy would be massively more complex than PyPy, most importantly it would be incredibly fragile. It's possible, but it's lots and lots of work. I don't think it possibly can be done with one person.
Speaking about compatible with cpython and yet fast - I would strongly recommend talking to Mark Shannon (the author of HotPy). He's by far the best person who can answer some questions and have a rough plan how to go forward. It would be much better to concentrate efforts rather than write yet another half-finished JIT (because reading code is hard). Cheers, fijal
