pypy: Execute script as part of an interactive shell.
$ pypy -i ${filename-py}
try on your machine

The given command is a command-line command for executing a Python script using the PyPy interpreter. Here's a breakdown of each part:

  1. pypy: This is the name of the PyPy interpreter. PyPy is an alternative implementation of the Python language that aims to provide faster execution speed than the standard CPython implementation.

  2. -i: This is a flag passed to the PyPy interpreter. It stands for "interactive" mode. When using this flag, after executing the specified Python script, the interpreter will enter an interactive session, allowing you to interactively explore or experiment with the code.

  3. ${filename-py}: This is a placeholder notation used here to represent the filename of a Python script. The ${filename-py} should be replaced with the actual filename of the Python script you want to execute. For example, if your script is named my_script.py, you would replace ${filename-py} with my_script.py.

To summarize, the command pypy -i ${filename-py} executes a Python script using the PyPy interpreter and enters an interactive session afterward.
