I am trying to treat a massive load of data in order to do some data-mining with Python. I have heard of a optimized python implementation called Pypy. I am having trouble getting Pypy working.

Environnement: I am using Anaconda 4.0.0 (64-bit) on a Linux CentOS distribution. According to the installation advice I had to use the portable version for this distribution. I tried to create an virtual environnement using virtualenv, which I install with Anaconda'a pip.

Issue : When trying to run Pypy I get the following result :

$ cd pypy_folder_root
$ virtualenv -p bin/pypy my_env
Running virtualenv with interpreter bin/pypy
debug: OperationError:
debug:  operror-type: LookupError
debug:  operror-value: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding
debug: OperationError:
debug:  operror-type: AttributeError
debug:  operror-value: stdout

Maybe should I use the virtual environnements manager included in Anaconda (called conda). How can I create a new virtual env with Pypy as Python interpreter in it ?

Thanks for your help

Which version of PyPy are you using exactly? – Manuel Jacob May 30 '16 at 23:57
I'm using `pypy3 2.4 linux x86 64 portable` – Matthias Beaupère May 31 '16 at 10:00
We released a new PyPy3 version yesterday. It's an alpha version, but still it should work better than the old 2.4 version in most cases. I'm not sure, but I think this should solve the problem. A portable version will be released in the next few days. – Manuel Jacob May 31 '16 at 22:55
Ok thanks for your answer :) – Matthias Beaupère Jun 01 '16 at 09:21
A portable version of PyPy3.3 was released a few hours ago: https://github.com/squeaky-pl/portable-pypy – Manuel Jacob Jun 02 '16 at 20:58
Thank you for the info ! But I don't understand how I am supposed to install Pypy on Anaconda... – Matthias Beaupère Jun 07 '16 at 08:59
