Pyston is available as a lite extension module that adds just-in-time compilation to Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10 without requiring you to switch to a different Python interpreter\u2014it works alongside your existing Python installation and is designed to be compatible with standard CPython binary packages.\n\nThe autoloader eliminates the need to manually enable the JIT in your code; once installed, it runs transparently. According to the project, the JIT delivers roughly 10% faster execution on web-serving macrobenchmarks. Installation is straightforward via pip, though the package itself has not been updated since September 2022.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you run Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, or 3.10 and want a low-friction performance boost for CPU-bound or web-serving workloads. The autoloader is simple to install and transparent in operation. However, verify the license terms before use, and note that the package has not been updated since September 2022. Not suitable for Python 3.11+."},"id":"pyston-autoload","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyston-autoload","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyston-autoload.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyston-autoload/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-09-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"pyston-autoload","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Automatically loads and enables pyston"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":462722,"position":6524,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.3.5"}
