1 PyPy3 is a fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python
2 language (3.7.13, 3.8.13, 3.9.12). It has several advantages and distinct
3 features:
4
5 - Speed: thanks to its Just-in-Time compiler, Python programs often run faster
6 on PyPy3.
7 - Memory usage: large, memory-hungry Python programs might end up taking less
8 space than they do in CPython.
9 - Compatibility: PyPy3 is highly compatible with existing python code. It
10 supports ctypes and can run popular python libraries like
11 twisted and django.
12 - Sandboxing: PyPy3 provides the ability to run untrusted code in a fully
13 secure way.
14 - Stackless: PyPy3 can be configured to run in stackless mode, providing
15 micro-threads for massive concurrency.
16 - As well as other features.
