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.
