I have put together a basic port of PyPy 1.8 here:
https://github.com/jasperla/openbsd-wip/tree/master/lang/pypy
"PyPy is a fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language
(equivalent to CPython 2.7.2)." For "pure" Python 2.7 programs, PyPy is
generally a drop-in replacement; many programs benefit significantly from its
tracing JIT.
Unfortunately, PyPy's distribution and installation mechanism is currently
rather non-standard; to make the problem tractable, the package installs into
$PREFIX/pypy-${V}.
This has currently had relatively light testing and I would be grateful for
comments. Until it has had more testing, I can't consider it suitable for
submission to CVS, so if you're interested in PyPy, please test and comment!
[In the longer term, I intend adding an RPython sub-package, but that's an
unnecessary complication at this stage.]
