[Sidnei da Silva]

* Package name : pypy
  Version : 1.6
  Upstream Author : Armin Rigo <email address hidden>
* URL : http://www.pypy.org/
* License : MIT/X
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : PyPy is a fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language.

PyPy is a fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language.
It has several advantages and distinct features:
 * Speed: thanks to its Just-in-Time compiler, Python programs often run faster
   on PyPy.
 * Memory usage: large, memory-hungry Python programs might end up taking less
   space than they do in CPython.
 * Compatibility: PyPy is highly compatible with existing python code. It
   supports ctypes and can run popular python libraries like twisted and
   django.
 * Sandboxing: PyPy provides the ability to run untrusted code in a fully secure
   way.
 * Stackless: PyPy can be configured to run in stackless mode, providing
   micro-threads for massive concurrency.
As well as other features.

Is there any chance you can add a PyPy3 version to this PPA?

Right now, there's no nice way to get system-wide installs of PyPy3 on Ubuntu that I can find.

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

Done.
