Will you (or do you) offer PyPy support too? It is looking to be the fastest Python implementation around, and even more so as its support for Numpy matures.

Possibly; it is not on our immediate roadmap, but is something we can add if there is enough demand.
If you are interested in accelerating Numpy, have you seen Numba? One decorator can net you a several hundred times speedup over pure python, and in many cases, a significant speedup over Numpy: http://www.slideshare.net/teoliphant/numba-lightning
