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. `(What is a JIT compiler?)`_

* **Stackless:** PyPy can be configured to run in `stackless`_ mode,
providing micro-threads for massive concurrency.
* **Compatibility:** PyPy is `highly compatible`_ with existing python code.
It supports `ctypes`_ and can run popular python libraries like `twisted`_
and `django`_.
* As well as other `features`_.

To read more about Python, look into `Python docs`_ and check our
Compatibility_ page. PyPy can run such python libraries as `twisted`_
and `django`_ and supports `ctypes`_.
Want to know more? A good place to start is our detailed `speed`_ and
`compatibility`_ reports!
