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.
