I see your point --- but RPython does include generators nowadays. It does not include tons of other things though. > which means Python implementation is still written in subset of Python and > not using the real full fat Python. RPython is Python with restrictions about the allowed runtime behavior (but not the import-time behavior). The Python implementation of PyPy is written in RPython, yes. > I looks like the documentation is missing one more important aspect - > RPython toolchain can be used to compile standalone programs written in > RPython (which is why I've finally got to it at the moment). That is theoretically correct but not mentioned on purpose. We don't support this. RPython is not meant as a general-purpose programming language, and it doesn't support a lot of things that would make it more convenient for that purpose. If you are using RPython because of performance issues only, PyPy has a good JIT nowadays which can get full Python close. If you are using RPython because you don't like dynamic languages, then pick Java or .NET instead.
