Given that the OP seems to be new enough to Python to not know what it is not as good for, my guess is that PyPy may not yet be "ready enough" to serve some/most of his needs. For example, if he wanted to write a GUI app, AFAIK he is, for now, limited to Tkinter and a constrained section of wxPython, and wxPython is dicey. I tend to see things through a desktop GUI application lens, so maybe this is just my bias. And I hope I am wrong. I am in no way trying to slight the PyPy efforts. Maybe he could somehow write the GUI part with CPython and the speed-critical parts with PyPy but I don't know if that is possible. (Is it?) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
