Except PyPy is Python2, so that won't help either.

If you want performance, Python 2 and PyPy is what you're looking for.

If you want performance and Python 3, and are willing to contribute funding and wait a bit, then PyPy is what you're looking for. :)

This is a bit like saying "if you want Earth without the pollution, and are willing to contribute funding and wait a bit, terraforming is what you're looking for."

I'm sure PyPy will eventually get there, but in the meantime, projects are still happening, so what's available now (or what's so close that it's considered complete and in testing) is a lot more interesting and useful.

It's not as dire as you imply, even with the "a bit."

PyPy3 has a beta release.

This would be like "If you want Earth without the pollution and are willing to move, then we've terraformed Mars already; we just need some fuel for the rocket to get you there."
