Ask HN: What is stopping PyPy from being the de facto Python?

1 pointsby yahyaheee10 yıl önce2 comments

I am simply throwing the out to the community. It looks at a top level like PyPy has a lot of the things that Python needs to modernize itself. I am curious if there are any major roadblocks left to PyPy becomming the de facto distribution?

I think the main reason is that Python is already the de facto Python.

TL,DR : Guido.

When Guido Van Rossum will tell Python 2.7 is now PyPy or when he will say "we don't support python2 anymore", then pypy will become the python2 de facto standard.
