 What this talk is about
 =======================
 
+* a bit of motivation
+
 * tell what Python Interpreter can run today 
 
 * what we are heading for with the 1.1 release 
 
 * Questions and Answers 
 
+PyPy - motivation
+=================================
+
+* CPython is nice, but not flexible enough
+
+* IronPython, Jython - bound to the specific VM
+
+* Separate language specification from low-level details,
+  such as GC or platform to run
+
+* Psyco and Stackless Python hard to maintain
+
+PyPy - user motivation
+=======================
+
+* One should never be forced to write anything in C
+  for performance reasons (with some exceptions: embedded
+  devices etc.)
+
+* Just-in-time compiler should make number-crunching
+  and static-enough code fast enough
+
+* One should never care about low-level details
+
 Getting Production ready
