PyPy should work perfectly with pure-Python software. I don't know if it is compatible with extension libraries written in C or Fortran. > Are there any issues with using PyPy?

There may be special PyPy functions that other Python's won't have, but I don't know of any. If you stick to standard library and language features as described in the normal Python docs, you should be fine. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
