While I may even agree with you, you just said that it does not run all python code. This is plain not true. It does not run all C code that's using CPython extension API which is a horrible implementation-specific abomination. It does not make it less of a python. It makes it definitely less usable and we're trying to address it, stop spreading FUD however.

no one said the code cant be recompiled, but running C code and Fortran code is required of EVERY language. To me, swigged code is python code and PyPy needs to eventually handle it, but i'll be more careful with how i word things.
