Python packages awaiting review

pypy - An alternate python interpreter written in a subset of python. The interpreter has better memory use than CPython and speed is closing in on Cpython. The JIT'd version is faster than CPython in many benchmarks. It is growing the ability to load CPython extension modules in the near future (work presently done on a branch).
pynie - Python 3, on top of the Parrot virtual machine
