In sketching out the Python ecosystem in broad brush terms, is it fair to say NumPy gets a lot of US investment whereas PyPy is more an EU pet project? Or is that too broad brush?

Too broad. In investment terms, PyPy gets from _everywhere_, including lots from the USA. But PyPy core contributors are still mostly from not-in-the-USA ... unless things have changed in the last 6 months while I have been busy elsewhere.

OK. I was partly asking because I know the US government is putting funds directly into Blaze:

I don't know if the US government itself directly pays for PyPy development, but my impression is the EU itself does.

The EU has in the past. But there hasn't been an EU grant proposal written for a while. Laura
