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