freebsd-ports/lang/pypy-devel/pkg-descr
David Naylor 12d034d2b9 Add lang/pypy-devel for non-stable releases of PyPy.
pypy-devel is intended as a staging ground for beta releases and - while
no beta releases are available - snapshots of pypy default branch.

While introducing pypy-devel to build logic has been reworked to better
accomodate pypy3.  The lib-python/2.7 and lib_pypy folders are not renamed
after extraction (with only symbolic links used to emulate the structure).
PyPy still expects the standard structure and the symbolic links satisfy
this change.

The devel port was requested by mva@ to better support commercial clients.

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.
- 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.
- As well as other features.
