Thanks, I also saw this as PyPI and was confused, lol
now somebody just needs to make a PiPy for the raspberry pi
Is that PiPyPy or PiPyPI?

#22Odd how you still see announcements of this nature if Anthropic's marketing is be believed.

What euphemism do you prefer then...
There's a difference between dead (i.e. "unmaintained") and low activity ("not under active development"). From what I can see PyPy is in the latter category (and being in that category does not mean it's going to die soon), so choosing to claim it is unmaintained is notable.
Being three major versions behind CPython is definitely not a great sign for the long-term viability of it.

Most maintainers don't have a stack of cash to throw at tokens.
Re: Warn about PyPy being unmaintained
#26PyPy is a fantastic achievement and deserves far more support than it gets. Microsoft’s “Faster CPython” team tried to make Python 5x faster but only achieved ~1.5x in four years - meanwhile PyPy has been running at over 5x faster for decades.
On the other hand, I always got the impression that the main goal of PyPy is to be a research project (on meta-tracing, STM etc) rather than a replacement for CPython in production.
Maybe that, plus the core Python team’s indifference towards non-CPython implementations, is why it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves.

#27Read as PyPi and almost had heart attack
Re: Warn about PyPy being unmaintained
#28Somewhat interesting that "volunteer project no longer under active development" got changed to "unmaintained".
much respect to the PyPy contributors, but it seems like a pretty fair assessment
Re: Warn about PyPy being unmaintained
#29What annoys me is the name. Early morning it took me a
moment to realise that PyPy is not PyPi, so at first I
thought they referred to PyPi. Really, just for the name
confusion alone, one of those two should have to go.
Edit: I understand the underlying issue and the PyPy developer's opinion. I don't disagree on that part; I only refer to the name similarity as a problem.

I'm not sure "major versions" is the most correct term here, but I think your point is spot on
