I was experimenting with some dynamic programming 0/1 knapsack code last week. PyPy available through the distro (7.3.9) was making a reasonable speed up, but not phenomenally. Out of curiousity I grabbed the latest version through pyenv (7.3.12) and it looks like some changes between them suddenly had the code sit in a sweet spot with it, I saw a couple of orders of magnitude better performance out of it. Good work.

I'm rarely using python in places at work where it would suit it (lots of python usage, but they're more on the order of short run tools), but I'm always looking for chances and always using it for random little personal things.
