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.
