  1. Sep 23, 2013 · Q: Why can't I do drop in replacement of CPython with PyPy now? A: PyPy isn't 100% compatible with CPython because it isn't simulating CPython under the hood. Some programs may still depend on CPython's unique features that are absent in PyPy such as C bindings, C implementations of Python object&methods, or the incremental nature of CPython's garbage collector.

  2. 3 days ago · This really depends on your code. For pure Python algorithmic code, it is very fast. For more typical Python programs we generally are 3 times the speed of CPython 2.7. You might be interested in our benchmarking site and our jit documentation.

  3. The effect that you get in CPython has clearly been described as a side-effect of the implementation and not a language design decision: programs relying on this are basically bogus. It would be a too strong restriction to try to enforce CPython’s behavior in a language spec, given that it has no chance to be adopted by Jython or IronPython (or any other port of Python to Java or .NET).

  4. 3. @Abdul: No, Python is not a software at all. It is a specification. There are multiple implementations of that specification, written in multiple languages. IronPython is written in C♯, Jython in Java, PyPy in RPython, Pynie in NQP, PIR, and Perl6, Pyston in C++, CPython in C. The statement "Python is written in C" doesn't make sense.

  5. Jun 21, 2024 · Here are some major differences between Python and CPython. Python is a language specification, defining syntax, keywords, and core concepts. Cpython is an interpreter that executes Python code. Language-agnostic, meaning it can be implemented in various languages.

  6. Sep 21, 2018 · A Python program which makes heavy use of cpyext extensions is likely to be slower on PyPy than on CPython. Note: in this blog post we are talking about Python 2.7 because it is still the default version of PyPy: however most of the implementation of cpyext is shared with PyPy3, so everything applies to that as well.

  8. Apr 16, 2023 · Considering the performance advantages of PyPy, developers might wonder when it is appropriate to use PyPy instead of CPython. Here are some scenarios in which PyPy might be the better choice: When the Python code relies heavily on computation and can benefit from the performance improvements offered by the JIT compiler and meta-tracing techniques.
