Sweet, new Microsoft is awesome!<p>Pyston seems to be catching up to PyPy fairly quickly ...not sure if there is anything transferable to pyjion, but if you haven&#x27;t done so might be worth checking out.<p>Also for getting around the GIL, PyParallel seems to have a really interesting (and seemingly successful  approach: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pyparallel.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pyparallel.org&#x2F;</a><p>Its being worked on by one of the Guy&#x27;s at continuum...and  It&#x27;s definitely in continuum&#x27;s  best interest to help python&#x27;s future so I&#x27;m sure they wouldn&#x27;t mind collab.
