Answer from AI
PyPy is an alternative implementation of the Python interpreter with JIT compilation, which significantly speeds up code execution compared to CPython. In projects, I used PyPy to accelerate compute-intensive tasks, such as processing large volumes of data or complex algorithms.
Advantages of using PyPy:
- Significant performance improvement without changing the source code.
- Compatibility with most Python libraries written in Python.
Limitations:
- Some C extensions may work incorrectly or slower.
- Not always suitable for projects with active use of specific native libraries.
To run a script with PyPy, simply replace the python command with pypy:
pypy script.py
