Nim
Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).

Nuitka
Nuitka is a Python compiler written in Python. It's fully compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11. You feed it your Python app, it does a lot of clever things, and spits out an executable or extension module.
The Nim language does this. High-level python-like syntax that compiles to C, C++, or JavaScript to execute. It's not exactly Python, but might suit your use case.
Having said that, some people are working on having a JIT compiler for a subset of Python with some success: https://numba.pydata.org/
Nuitka does that: compiles Python code to C code which still has dynamic dispatch and garbage collection, using libpython. It is faster than the Python interpreter, but obviously it's still far from the performance of more typical C code.
For an example of doing all of these for dynamic language, check out Crafting Interpreters: https://github.com/munificent/craftinginterpreters
