    I found that there's a Python implementation featuring JIT, also for PPC, in active development:

    https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/src/0ad5a737469c9de3efc8b7ceb479b05b9a60eccc/pypy/jit/backend/ppc/

    I don't know if that's applicable for MorphOS and I know that it won't help with missing hardware graphics acceleration in PyGame games at all but I guess it would speed up execution of Python programs quite a bit nonetheless.


    Edit:

    Also for PPC64:

    I'm not familiar with Python in the least, and the first Python link is broken btw.

    Where can I get it, and how do I set it up?

    It's explained in the documentation contained in the archive I think.
