PyPy uses a different internal representation of Python objects than CPython does. For this and other reasons, its implementation of the CPython C API uses an emulation layer, which is rather slow. CFFI, on the other hand, is very fast on PyPy due to dedicated code in PyPy’s JIT compiler. It’s also pretty fast on CPython.

OK so no I have no plans to implement this myself. I'd be happy to review a PR though, provided there are benchmarks for both CPython and PyPy so we can make an informed decision.
