PyPy 2.0.1 - Bohr Smørrebrød

We’re pleased to announce PyPy 2.0.1. This is a stable bugfix release over 2.0. You can download it here:

The fixes are mainly about fatal errors or crashes in our stdlib. See below for more details.

What is PyPy?

PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for CPython 2.7. It’s fast (pypy 2.0 and cpython 2.7.3 performance comparison) due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.

This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64 or Windows 32. Support for ARM is progressing but not bug-free yet.

Highlights

Cheers, arigo et. al. for the PyPy team
