We [msft python team] tried to get PyPy some funding, but it didn't go very far. I'll keep trying. We've also started this project to enable jitting for CPython:

https://github.com/Microsoft/Pyjion

The core of it is there and it's been accepted into the main trunk, but we haven't had the cycles to do quality codegen yet.

Pyjion looks good, once it is easy to build in Linux it will probably attract some users and even possibly some extra developers.
