I presume you mean 'will the leading edge reference version transition... Or more plainly, "will Guido switch to PyPy for further development of Python?" I once thought so, but 1) Google sped the arrival of Py3.0 by hiring Guido with a major chunk of time devoted to Python development, so he started before PyPy was even remotely ready (and it still is not); and 2) PyPy did not focus only or specifically on being a CPython replacement but became an umbrella for a variety of experiment (including, for instance, a Scheme frontend). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
