Re: [IAEP] PyCon 2010 Invitation
And there is actually quite a bit of healthy competition for performance between the various python VMs. PyPy for example is generally faster (http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2009/11/some-benchmarking.html) than Unladen Swallow, CPython or even CPython+psyco, but lacks compatibility to the CPython C API (just ctypes).
