PyPy

PyPy is a Python implementation in Python. Yes, it can interpret itself!

Please refer to the PyPy home page for more information about this Python implementation.

PyPy 1.5 was released on 30/04/2011

This release updates PyPy with the features of CPython 2.7.1, including the standard library, thus all features of CPython 2.6 and 2.7 are now supported. It also includes a large number of small improvements to the tracing JIT compiler. Details:

PyPy 1.4 was released on 22/10/2010

PyPy 1.3 was released on 26/06/2010

There are two principal areas of improvement in this release: stabilisation of the just-in-time compiler, and alpha-level support for the loading of CPython extension modules written in C.

PyPy 1.2 was released on 12/03/2010

The emphasis of this release is performance, with the JIT-enabled implementation known to outperform CPython on some real-world applications and benchmarks.

PyPy 1.1 was released on 28/04/2009

Some of the backends supported in 1.0 (namely The LLVM and the JS backends) have been dropped "because they were unmaintained and/or buggy". The old JIT has also been dropped in favor of a new one that is under active development.

PyPy 1.0 was released on 27/03/2007

It includes a JIT compiler, stackless-like functionality, uses the Boehm garbage collector and has whole lot of "backends" - C, LLVM, JavaScript, CLI, Java.
