Bug#762346: RFP: pypy3 -- fast alternative implementation of Python3 - PyPy interpreter



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : pypy3
  Version         : 2.3.1
  Upstream Author : Armin Rigo <arigo@tunes.org>
* URL             : http://www.pypy.org

  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : fast alternative implementation of Python3 - PyPy interpreter

 PyPy3 is a fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python3
 language (3.2). It has several advantages and distinct features:
  * Speed: thanks to its Just-in-Time compiler (on x86), 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.
  * Stackless: PyPy supports stackless mode on x86, providing
    micro-threads for massive concurrency.
