Using the PyPy runtime for Python

Pypy is an alternative runtime for Python, offering a performance boost through its JIT compiler. It can often double the speed of Python programs without requiring code changes. A benchmark using Google Ngram data showed significant performance improvements when switching from Python 3.7 to Pypy. Pypy is compatible with Python tools like PIP, making it easy to install packages and run web applications. It excels in long-running scripts and web frameworks, though it may not benefit short-lived command line scripts.

What is one of the main advantages of using Pypy over the standard Python interpreter?

• It supports more programming languages.

• It offers a significant performance boost.

• It includes a built-in debugger.

• It provides a graphical user interface.

In the benchmark test using the Google Ngram dataset, how did Pypy's performance compare to Python 3.7?

• Pypy did not complete the benchmark.

• Pypy and Python 3.7 had the same performance.

• Pypy was faster than Python 3.7.

• Pypy was slower than Python 3.7.

Which tool can be used with Pypy to install packages, similar to Python?

• Conda

• Yarn

• PIP

• NPM

For which type of scripts is Pypy most effective?

• Long-running scripts and web frameworks

• Short-lived command line scripts

• Scripts with graphical user interfaces

• Scripts that require extensive I/O operations

What is a potential limitation of using Pypy for certain scripts?

• It cannot run on Windows.

• It does not support Python 3 syntax.

• It may not speed up short-lived scripts.

• It requires extensive code modification.
