[ Source: pypy  ]

fast alternative implementation of Python - PyPy interpreter

PyPy is a fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language (2.7). It has several advantages and distinct features:

 * Speed: thanks to its Just-in-Time compiler (on x86), Python programs often
   run faster on PyPy.
 * Memory usage: large, memory-hungry Python programs might end up taking less
   space than they do in CPython.
 * Compatibility: PyPy is highly compatible with existing Python code.
   It supports ctypes and can run popular Python libraries like twisted and
   django.
 * Stackless: PyPy supports stackless mode on x86, providing
   micro-threads for massive concurrency.

This package contains the PyPy interpreter.
