PyPy +has several advantages and distinctive features: speed (Just-in-Time +compiler), lower memory usage for large programs, sandboxing and +stackless mode. + +This script is for PyPy implementation of Python 2.7 from sources. +Beware: this takes up a lot of time and about 5Gb of RAM in a 64bit +system. And still 3Gb on a 32bit system. + +Note: This package does conflict with pypy, overwriting files. + +OPTIONAL: pypy or PyPy, available on SBo. +If pypy2 is installed, from binary repackaging using pypy, or from +a previous installation of PyPy, it'll be used instead of CPython2.7, +as it is twice as fast. +It might even be better for a first build of PyPy to build and install +pypy first. +pycparser is required only when using Slackware's CPython2.7 +for building. + +REQUIRES: you need one of pycparser, pypy or PyPy. |
