If PyPy is not quite good enough for your needs, we are available for +direct consulting work. + +We would also like to thank our contributors and encourage new people to join +the project. PyPy has many layers and we need help with all of them: `PyPy`_ +and `RPython`_ documentation improvements, tweaking popular `modules`_ to run +on pypy, or general `help`_ with making RPython's JIT even better. + +.. _`PyPy`: index.html +.. _`RPython`: https://rpython.readthedocs.org +.. _`modules`: project-ideas.html#make-more-python-modules-pypy-friendly +.. _`help`: project-ideas.html + + +What is PyPy? +============= + +PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for +CPython 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6. It's fast (`PyPy and CPython 2.7.x`_ performance +comparison) due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler. + +We also welcome developers of other `dynamic languages`_ to see what RPython +can do for them. + +The PyPy release supports: + + * **x86** machines on most common operating systems + (Linux 32/64 bits, Mac OS X 64 bits, Windows 32 bits, OpenBSD, FreeBSD) + + * big- and little-endian variants of **PPC64** running Linux, + + * **s390x** running Linux + +Unfortunately at the moment of writing our ARM buildbots are out of service, +so for now we are **not** releasing any binary for the ARM architecture. + +.. _`PyPy and CPython 2.7.x`: http://speed.pypy.org +.. _`dynamic languages`: http://rpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples.html + + +Changelog +========= + +XXX write me _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list pypy-commit@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
