What's the difference beween ordinary and "-src" pypy versions in pyenv?
I want to install several versions of pypy for testing using pyenv. I wonder what is the difference betweeen versions of pypy like
pypy2-5.6.0
and
pypy2-5.6.0-src
Which ones should I install?

pypy2-5.6.0 is installed as a binary, while pypy2-5.6.0-src is built from source by pyenv. Building PyPy from source is going to take much more time than simply downloading a binary.
See also the corresponding shell scripts in $(pyenv root)/plugins/python-build/share/python-build:
