It is now possible to use RPythonic to write CPython extension modules in RPython, RPythonic will work as the front-end that uses the PyPy translation toolchain to generate C code, compile it with GCC, package it in a cache directory with generated ctypes wrappers, and finally replace the decorated functions in-place in CPython.
