What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the PyPy interpreter compared to standard CPython?

Advantages of PyPy:

• Significantly faster execution of Python code thanks to JIT compilation.
• Can accelerate long-running applications and computationally intensive tasks.
• Compatible with most Python programs.

Disadvantages of PyPy:

• Not all C extensions for CPython work with PyPy (e.g., some libraries with C-API).
• Longer startup time due to JIT compilation.
• Less support for some specific modules and tools.

Example: if you have numerically intensive code, PyPy can speed up its execution several times without changes to the code.
