[Yt-dev] PyPy benchmarks

[Matthew Turk]

Hi all,

I saw this post today:

http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2009/11/some-benchmarking.html

It's about benchmarks for the PyPy project, with a just-in-time
compiler enabled; PyPy is a reimplementation of Python in a restricted
version of Python, which aims to be far more flexible as well as
faster.  (Also, some other language-engineer goals I don't really know
much about!)  Very impressive, but I'm pretty sure it's not yet a
target for deployment -- but maybe some day, and it's becoming clear
that Python's speed will improve with time.
