PyPy v7.3.16 Release
You'll note I said I was playing with RPython, not PyPy. In my case, I was playing with writing a small interpreter, and comparing the RPython toolchain with the Truffle/Graal framework.
Writing RPython code, even if one is not developing or contributing to PyPy, means writing within a subset of python 2.
> RPython ("Restricted Python") is a subset of Python 2

And RPython's translator specifically uses pypy, and uses python 2 syntax:
https://github.com/pypy/pypy/blob/main/rpython/bin/rpython#L...
... so getting the RPython toolchain (even if one is intending to improve the PyPy 3+ interpreters) requires setting up a pypy 2 interpreter. Hence the question in my post.
What are some alternatives?
PyPy
dramatiq - A fast and reliable background task processing library for Python 3.
Cython - The most widely used Python to C compiler
Pyston - A faster and highly-compatible implementation of the Python programming language.
Pyjion
PeachPy - x86-64 assembler embedded in Python
pypy - The unofficial GitHub mirror of PyPy (mirrored via https://github.com/mozillazg/job-mirror-hg-repos)
