Have you seen Numba, the Python JIT that integrates with NumPy?
http://numba.pydata.org
Specifically, Numba compiles to LLVM too, and tries to be somewhat
general-purpose although it's tuned to numerical code. And their reason
for not using PyPy is the same: C extensions. So while their "market
segment" is different from yours, the technology may not be.

It uses LLVM to compile Python bytecode. When I have tried it I tend to get
speed comparable to -O2 in C for numerical and algorithmic code.
Here is an example, giving a 150 times speed boost to Python:
