Software Description

-- No longer available as a module--

Python is a high level programming language that aims to combine remarkable power with very clear syntax. PyPy is an alternative implementation of the Python language that uses a Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler to run certain types of code much faster than the standard implementation.

Loading the module python-pypy makes the PyPy Python installation your default Python for all Python-related commands (python, ipython, pip):

module load python-pypy

General information about using Python at MSI is available on the main Python software documentation page.

General Linux

PyPy provides the virtualenv command to create a local environment in your home directory:

module load python-pypy
virtualenv --system-site-packages $HOME/my-pypy

Many Python packages can then be installed:

source $HOME/my-pypy/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade some-package
python script-that-uses-some-package.py

Unfortunately NumPy and SciPy are not currently supported in our installation of PyPy.
