Zaytsev and David Wilson who recently started +running nightly builds on Windows and MacOSX buildbots. + +We've shown quite a bit of progress, but we're slowly running out of funds. +Please consider donating more, or even better convince your employer to donate, +so we can finish those projects! The three sub-projects are: + +* `Py3k`_ (supporting Python 3.x): We have released a Python 3.2.5 compatible version + we call PyPy3 2.4.0, and are working toward a Python 3.3 compatible version + +* `STM`_ (software transactional memory): We have released a first working version, + and continue to try out new promising paths of achieving a fast multithreaded Python + +* `NumPy`_ which requires installation of our fork of upstream numpy, + available `on bitbucket`_ + +.. _`cffi`: https://cffi.readthedocs.org +.. _`Py3k`: http://pypy.org/py3donate.html +.. _`STM`: http://pypy.org/tmdonate2.html +.. _`NumPy`: http://pypy.org/numpydonate.html +.. _`on bitbucket`: https://www.bitbucket.org/pypy/numpy + +We would also like to encourage new people to join the project.

It's fast (`pypy and cpython 2.7.x`_ performance comparison) +due to its integrated tracing JIT compiler. + +This release supports **x86** machines on most common operating systems +(Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64, Windows, OpenBSD_, freebsd_), +as well as newer **ARM** hardware (ARMv6 or ARMv7, with VFPv3) running Linux. + +While we support 32 bit python on Windows, work on the native Windows 64 +bit python is still stalling, we would welcome a volunteer +to `handle that`_.
