PyPy

PyPy is a very compliant implementation of the Python language (2.7.1). PyPy has several advantages and distinctive features:

  • Speed: thanks to its Just-in-Time compiler, Python programs often run faster on PyPy. (What is a JIT compiler?)
  • Memory usage: large, memory-hungry Python programs might end up taking less space than they do in CPython.
  • 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.
