PyPy Status Blog: Realtime image processing in Python

http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2011/07/realtime-image-processing-in-python.html

Image processing is notoriously a CPU intensive task. To do it in realtime, you need to implement your algorithm in a fast language, hence trying to do it in Python is foolish: Python is clearly not fast enough for this task. Is it? :-) Actually, it turns out that the PyPy JIT compiler produces code which is fast enough to do realtime video processing using two simple algorithms implemented by Håkan Ardö.
