 <p>PyPy is a <a class="reference external" href="http://speed.pypy.org/">fast</a>, <a class="reference external" href="compat.html">compliant</a> alternative implementation of the <a class="reference external" href="http://python.org/">Python</a>
 language (2.7.8 and 3.2.5). It has several advantages and distinct features:</p>
