  Nah, if you mean the black swan ignored by the Python community, thus forcing everyone that cares to go to Julia instead.

    Can you be specific about this, for those of us not especially aware of the Python ecosystem?

      PyPy is a Python implementation with JIT support, which has been going at it during the last 15 years or so, and nowadays is mostly compatible with the reference implementation. https://www.pypy.org/compat.html https://www.pypy.org/compat.html However for most Python users, it is more common just to stick with CPython and rewrite stuff in C than having a go at using PyPy.
