We’re pleased to announce PyPy 2.3.1, a feature-and-bugfix improvement over our recent release last month.
This release contains several bugfixes and enhancements.

We would like to thank our donors for the continued support of the PyPy project, and for those who donate to our three sub-projects. We’ve shown quite a bit of progress but we’re slowly running out of funds. Please consider donating more, or even better convince your employer to donate, so we can finish those projects! The three sub-projects are:
PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for CPython 2.7. It’s fast (pypy 2.3 and cpython 2.7.x performance comparison; note that cpython’s speed has not changed since 2.7.2) due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64, Windows, and OpenBSD, as well as newer ARM hardware (ARMv6 or ARMv7, with VFPv3) running Linux.
While we support 32 bit python on Windows, work on the native Windows 64 bit python is still stalling, we would welcome a volunteer to handle that.
Issues with the 2.3 release were resolved after being reported by users to our new issue tracker at https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues or on IRC at #pypy. Here is a summary of the user-facing changes; for more information see whats-new:
Please try it out and let us know what you think. We especially welcome success stories, we know you are using PyPy, please tell us about it!
Cheers
