I think they try, every once in a while, to self host. The only problem at this stage of the game is the ~2000x speed slowdown. Using that figure, a five second startup time for PyPy on CPython would take about 3 hours for PyPy on PyPy on CPython (5s*2000). Running a 1 second (on CPython) Python program would take a month and a half for PyPy on PyPy on CPython. (1s*2000*2000) Once they get the speed issue licked, the self hosting problems should be no trouble. ;) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
