PyPy 1.8 released an excellent Python Interpreter

Python interpreter Python v1.8 is released. The biggest improvement of this version is the introduction of the new list strategy, which improves the performance and memory usage efficiency of homogenous lists.

PyPy is a Python interpreter implemented in Python. It is a project created by Python developers for better Hack Python. PyPy is more flexible, easier to use, and more experimental than CPython. It can be used to develop specific functions and implementation methods in different situations. The goal of PyPy is to make PyPy easier to adapt to various projects than Python implemented by C.

PyPy 1.8 detailed improvement list:

◆ List policy. The efficiency of the list containing only integers or floating-point numbers should be consistent with that stored in the binary package. The JIT performance of such lists is also improved. In addition, unicode and other character lists also have corresponding policies.

◆ Performance Improvement: Provides faster Python constructs ).

◆ Fixed bugs and compatibility issues with CPython.

◆ The Numpy module continues to improve. For more information, see this page. (Note: The numpy module can now use both numpy and numpypy names .)

◆ The new JIT hook (hooks) helps you hook up the JIT compilation process in a Python program.

◆ Upgrade the standard library to 2.7.2.

For more information, see: http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2012/02/pypy-18-business-as-usual.html. PyPy 1.8 has improved the performance by nearly 1.7 compared with PyPy 10%. This version supports x86 systems running Linux 32/64 and Windows 32, and will support Windows 64-bit systems in subsequent versions.
