In this talk we'll talk about PyPy's present status and for what kinds of applications it might be useful. We'll also show examples of things that are possible with PyPy that were impossible to do with Python before, like real time video processing done in pure python. Our objective with each of the examples will be to highlight the type of work that is sped up and why this represents both a boon for existing Python programmers, as well as an opportunity for Python to expand to new audiences.

We'll also explain a bit PyPy's accomplishements in the passing year that make all of this possible, current status, its goals and the near future.
