As far as I know, these are all still active, although possibly experimental:
Pynie (Python for the Parrot VM)
WPython (16-bit word-codes instead of byte-codes)
HotPy (high-performance optimizing VM for Python)
Skulpt (Javascript implementation)
HoPe (Python in Haskell)
Berp (another Python in Haskell)
WPython in particular seems to be very promising, and quite fast. I don't
understand why it doesn't get more attention (although I admit I can't
criticise, since I haven't installed or used it myself).

In the Java world, there are byte-code optimizers such as Soot, BLOAT and
ProGuard which apparently can speed up Java significantly. As far as I can
tell, in the Python world byte-code optimization is a severely neglected area.
For good reason? No idea.
