Have you had a look at Cython? http://cython.org.

>From seeing what you write, it looks like we have almost exactly the same
long-term goals; one could almost say that the two pieces of software will
be complete duplicates in functionality. (Cython isn't "there" just yet
though.)

(Though as the saying goes, little duplication is normal (and perhaps
wanted) for open source software.)
