Wow. Weren't C extensions precisely the major problem which lead Google to build Unladen Swallow instead of contributing to PyPy?
Hope we'll soon have several great Python environments, even though I was secretly rooting for PyPy, being in Python (that must be common fantasy after reading some parts of SICP!).
The post isn't too clear on this, but you should note that this work is not yet in PyPy trunk. You need to check out the branch if you want to test it.

Still, it's a big step towards other people taking it up.
