PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for CPython 2.7. It’s fast (pypy 2.2 and cpython 2.7.2 performance comparison) due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64, Windows 32, or ARM (ARMv6 or ARMv7, with VFPv3).
Work on the native Windows 64 is still stalling, we would welcome a volunteer to handle that.
This is a bugfix release. The most important bugs fixed are:
Note that CFFI 0.8.1 was released. Both versions 0.8 and 0.8.1 are compatible with both PyPy 2.2 and 2.2.1.
Cheers, Armin Rigo & everybody
