In the article, after the pypy plugin.py step that produced the C library, one could presumably dlopen the library to accomplish a dynamic plugin feature. Is there a way to invoke pypy to JIT this code to avoid invoking pypy and a compiler?
The way I understand it is that on first invocation of a function exported in the library this function will spin up a regular PyPy interpreter, which does JIT in exactly the same way as a normal invocation of PyPy would.

Scripting apis are a possible use too.
Yes indeed, and using this approach you can also write Python plugins for other applications if they don't have Python scripting support already.
