Well there's definite proof that the PyPy people are all completely 
incompetent in a response on the above link, this is how easy it is "But 
... why does the runtime environment have to be so limiting? Operations 
involving primitives could be easily compiled (on the fly - JIT) to 
machine code and more advanced objects exist as plug-ins. Oh, and it 
would be nice to be able to write such objects quickly and easily - not 
the convoluted mess that it is currently."

Simples :)
