  Description     : PyPy is a fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language.

PyPy is a fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language.
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.
