1. Right now this is a Windows-only project. I'm mostly just cobbling together by hand a standalone version of the interpreter with a bootstrapper I wrote in Cython. I also have some scripts that "bake" .pyc-only copies of Pyglet and the app in question into a .zip file. (I also do some import-time magic so that any .pyc file that has a matching .pyd file gets the latter substituted in for it, since you can't package .pyd files in a .zip.)
2. In theory you could package PyPy with this, although the size of the interpreter is daunting -- it's like 50MB -- and I wanted something that was small and efficient. I don't think swapping PyPy for CPython would be all that difficult, though, since in theory they are drop-in replacements. 3. The performance improvements mostly amount to compiling to Cython, decorating variables as needed, and replacing the OpenGL calls with their native C equivalents. But I've seen a couple of other things that can be done in pure Python. Some functions can be decorated with @lru_cache to reduce the number of method calls made to them -- for instance, get_texture for Texture(AbstractImage) at pyglet.image.__init__. pyglet.font.base has some other improvements in this vein. (The text handling part of Pyglet seems to be very unoptimzed in terms of how many calls are made.) The bad news is that I made these changes in a very ad-hoc, not at all systematic way, so it's tough to reconcile them with the codebase. What I'd like to do is wait for the next point release, and then backport them properly so everyone can use them.
