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
