What is PyPy?
PyPy is a Python implementation that uses Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation to achieve significant performance improvements compared to the standard CPython implementation. It provides a highly compliant version of the Python 2.7.1 language, aiming to maintain full compatibility while delivering around a 7-fold increase in execution speed for many common workloads
Highlights
- JIT compiler for improved runtime performance
- High level of Python 2.7.1 language compliance
- Approximately 7x faster than the standard CPython interpreter for many use cases
- Categorized as a language implementation tool
