I've just found a statement from Collin Winter [1]. He says, that he is 
working on other google projects, but they are still targeting the merge 
Unladen Swallow with cPython 3.3. The last commitmend to the branch 
(py3-jit) was in June this year....

So I would say the project is not dead or has failed, but delayed.
