Don't forget about Pyrex and PyPy's RPython.

By the way, we don't need a hotspot JIT compiler. Lisp has a compiler
invoked by the programmer. We could include optional static typing in
Python, and have an optional static optimizing native compiler for
selected portions of code. That would be easier to implement in the
short run, with  JIT-capabilities added later. Pyrex, ShedSkin or
RPython are all good starting points.
