What is PyPy?
PyPy is a fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language (2.7.1). It has several advantages and distinct features:
- Speed: thanks to its Just-in-Time compiler, 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.
- Sandboxing: PyPy provides the ability to run untrusted code in a fully secure way.
- Stackless: PyPy can be configured to run in stackless mode, providing micro-threads for massive concurrency.
- As well as other features.
