FAQ
Frequently asked questions about licensing, privacy, and performance.
Published May 30, 2026
What is Pyvorin?
Pyvorin is a native Python compiler that compiles Python source code to machine code for significant performance improvements on CPU-bound workloads.
What is the difference between pyvorin and pyvorin-thin?
pyvorin-thin is the lightweight client that offloads compilation to the cloud. The full pyvorin package includes a local native compiler.
Can I benchmark before buying?
Yes. Use pyvorin benchmark script.py. It measures CPython and Pyvorin timings, checks correctness, and writes an auditable event.
Does Pyvorin work in CI/CD?
Yes. Install pyvorin-thin in your container and configure the API URL and licence key via environment variables.
What happens if compilation fails?
Pyvorin automatically falls back to CPython execution. Your script never crashes — it just runs at normal Python speed.
Is my source code safe?
By default, raw source is not uploaded. Only a SHA-256 hash is sent. You can enable source upload with PYVORIN_THIN_SEND_SOURCE=1 for debugging.
