 For now you can get a project like Pinax from Django Hotclub up and running with a bit of extra work.
 
-Check out PyPy
+== Check out PyPy ==
+{{{
+svn co http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/dist pypy-dist
+}}}
+This checks out a pypy package and a py package(has py.test and other neat Python code)
+If you are using git to check out, check out the py repository separately or install py using easy_install.
 
-svn co http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/dist pypy-dist
+PyPy runs on 
+ * Windows 32bit
+ * Mac OS X Intel and PPC
+ * Linux 32bit and 64bit
 
-For Mac:
+== Build pypy-c ==
+Don't try this on a weak machine. It must have at least 1Gb memory or it will do a lot of swapping. 2Gb is plenty.
+Expect it to take 30-60 minutes
+{{{
+cd pypy/translator/goals
+./translate.py --thread --gc=hybrid --batch targetpypystandalone --faassen --allworkingmodules --oldstyle
+}}}
+This will create a pypy-c executable in the current directory. The generated interpreter will use the modified
+and standard Python libraries bundled with the PyPy source code if a runtime library is not already on the PYTHONPATH.
+
+
+== Platform prerequisites ==
+
+To compile PyPy you need a couple of developer tools. Essentially,
+ * Python 2.5 or 2.4 with ctypes
+ * C Compiler (gcc or equivalent)
+ * C Libraries
+ * libbz2-dev
+ * zlib-dev
+ * libffi
+ * python-dev
+
+=== For Mac ===
+
 Install Developer Tools
 Install MacPorts
-Install libffi
+Install python25 and libffi via MacPorts

-Build pypy-c

-Magic translation command (example):
-./translate.py --thread --gc=hybrid targetpypystandalone --faassen --allworkingmodules --oldstyle
+And you should be good to go
 
         
-Check out Django

                 Do a subversion checkout of django trunk. Or get version 1.0 that has the signals speedup (ticket 6814)
