- PyPy is a fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language
- (equivalent to CPython 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.
