PyPy vs Unladen Swallow vs CPython: benchmarks
PyPy is fully compatible with CPython2.5, however it is not compatible with C extensions.

I thought that PyPy is restricted to only a subset of Python called "RPython" (stands for Restricted Python) so it's not fully compatible at all with CPython. Correct me if I'm wrong though as I'm far from being a Python guru.

Only the pypy interpreter is written in RPython, code running in pypy is written in normal python. See
http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/coding-guide.html
for more info

My understanding is that RPython is used to implement PyPy itself, but PyPy can interpret up to Python 2.5.

There are no pypy bindings for gtk or QT... or the gnome or KDE libraries.
