Hi,

PyPy 1.7 was released just a few days ago: 
http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2011/11/pypy-17-widening-sweet-spot.html

After taking a look at http://speed.pypy.org/ I'm wondering if it would be 
possible to get cctbx to work with PyPy-jit instead of CPython.

Perhaps it's a little bit early, as they are still working on a complete numpy 
integration and I'm not sure how well boost.python fits into this. But in 
general speeding up the python parts looks nice if one does not have to invest 
too much time into this.

Has any of you already done some tests with PyPy?

Cheers,
Jan
