Well, I believe that the Pyrex guy is actually involved in PyPy (along with the psyco guy and the stackless guy... python optimization people seem to love this project), so it seems safe to say that PyPy subsumes the next generation Pyrex.
<br><br>From a more theoretic standpoint, it seems that PyPy knows how to create multiple versions of the extension, allowing you to choose the one that is nearest to optimal for your use scenario.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">
