Psyco is a JIT compiler for the Python programming language . While it hardly offers any advantages with I / O- heavy programs, it can accelerate the execution of programs, which especially stress the CPU , by 2 to 100 times, but typically only 4 times as fast with an unmodified interpreter and source code.

Psyco is currently available for Intel-based processors ( x86 only ) for Windows , Mac OS X , Linux and BSD derivatives; the range of functions is complete. The project has not been further developed since 2007 and has not been maintained since 2012. A follow-up project with a larger scope is PyPy , the use of which the developers now recommend.
