    	PyPy is interesting, but I use various libraries that make use of C 
extension modules.  I'm not going to compile them all myself, which is 
apparently what I would need to do for PyPy.  PyPy or other 
implementations won't work for me unless they're completely drop-in 
replacements for the interpreter.
