PyPy, an alternative runtime for Python, uses a specially created JIT compiler to yield potentially massive speedups over CPython, the conventional Python runtime. But PyPy’s exemplary performance has ...

The Python community is chewing over a new idea: allowing the C-based reference implementation, CPython, to incorporate Rust. It's only at the "pre-PEP" stage, but it's already sparked lively debate.

Abstract: The paper examines the handling times of software vulnerabilities in CPython, the reference implementation and interpreter for the today's likely most popular programming language, Python.

Abstract: In this paper, the performance research on CPython's latest interpreter is presented, concluding that bytecode dispatching takes about 25 percent of total execution time on average. Based on ...

This issue is about running the CPython test suite in sub interpreters. On the current HEAD there are lots of failures, crashes and related issues. I'm raising this issue to share the approach I used ...
