What is PyPy?

02/21/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

PyPy is an alternative Python interpreter based on Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation that can provide higher performance than the standard CPython interpreter of Python. PyPy is written in Python itself and provides some additional features beyond those of CPython.

One of PyPy's main advantages is its high speed, which allows it to perform better than the standard CPython interpreter, especially for computationally intensive applications and algorithms. It also supports many Python modules and frameworks, including NumPy, Django, and Flask, making it an attractive option for developers.

Another advantage of PyPy is its portability. The interpreter runs on a variety of platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, and ARM processors, and can be easily integrated into existing projects that use the standard Python.

Although PyPy offers some additional features and higher performance than the standard CPython interpreter, in some cases it cannot match the compatibility of CPython. Some Python modules and frameworks may not be fully compatible with PyPy or require customizations to work properly.
