Spike: Try running our stack via pypy. #37

Open mikeAdamss opened 3 years ago

pypy is a much faster implementation of python (compared to standard/Cpython) and has provided big speed increases on previous versions of databaker.

It's based on heavy use of c-plugins which may or may not benefit us (as we use a lot of pandas which already has a ton of these), I honestly don't know how it'll pan out.

worth trying though, it's potentially a huge speed increase for the price of pressing install.
