We’re pleased to announce the second beta of the upcoming 2.1 release of PyPy. This beta adds one new feature to the 2.1 release and contains several bugfixes listed below.
You can download the PyPy 2.1 beta 1 release here:
PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for CPython 2.7.3. It’s fast due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64 or Windows 32. Also this release supports ARM machines running Linux 32bit - anything with ARMv6 (like the Raspberry Pi) or ARMv7 (like Beagleboard, Chromebook, Cubieboard, etc.) that supports VFPv3 should work.
Windows 64 work is still stalling, we would welcome a volunteer to handle that.
We suggest using PyPy from a virtualenv. Once you have a virtualenv installed, you can follow instructions from pypy documentation on how to proceed. This document also covers other installation schemes.
Cheers, The PyPy Team.
