If you don't know yet, you could find interesting this project:
http://code.google.com/p/unladen-swallow/
I know about this project. I'll have a look at it, but I'd like to
create something of my own.
They too are trying to improve CPython speed.
If you are thinking of language variations that trade some flexiblity
for speed, you might be interested in Cython:
http://www.cython.org/
I was thinking about sacrificing some flexibility of Python and thank
you for pointing me to this project. I didn't about it.
As a simple and plain python user, I would value a version of cython that
can be used to built faster executables out of almost-python code (that
is python code with a few additional restructions). Maybe using typing
inference to avoid declaring explicitely the variable types.
Another interesting place to go is pypy :http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/
pypy/doc/ . They too have developed a restriced version of python
(RPython, I think) which should be faster than CPython. They don't work
with CPython code base, but could give you ideas on what are the
bottlenecks of python as a language.

I'd like to hear a word from developers, what they think about
this :).
BTW: My seminar deals with object oriented programming.
