PyPy 5.3.1
==========
We have released a bugfix for PyPy2.7-v5.3.0, released last week,
due to issues_ reported by users.
Thanks to those who reported the issues.
.. _issues: http://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/whatsnew-pypy2-5.3.1.html
What is PyPy?
=============
PyPy is a very compliant Python interpreter, almost a drop-in replacement for
CPython 2.7. It's fast (`PyPy and CPython 2.7.x`_ performance comparison)
due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler.
We also welcome developers of other
`dynamic languages`_ to see what RPython can do for them.
This release supports:
* **x86** machines on most common operating systems
(Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64, Windows 32, OpenBSD, FreeBSD),
* newer **ARM** hardware (ARMv6 or ARMv7, with VFPv3) running Linux,
* big- and little-endian variants of **PPC64** running Linux,
* **s390x** running Linux
.. _`PyPy and CPython 2.7.x`: http://speed.pypy.org
.. _`dynamic languages`: http://pypyjs.org
Please update, and continue to help us make PyPy better.
Cheers
The PyPy Team
