<div dir="ltr"><font face="'Times New Roman'" size="3">Would it be possible to maintain a user-generated exhaustive list of supported and non-supported packages?</font><div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium">I believe this would help people considering the use of PyPy in their decision to try it out.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium">For example - I'm working on a project with the following dependencies: Python 2.7, django (with sqlite), pytz, lxml, pywin32</span></div>
<div><font face="'Times New Roman'" size="3">Sure, I'll get around to actually testing PyPy with these dependencies in a month or two, but if a supported vs. non-supported list would be available, that would get me going much faster.</font></div>
<div><font face="'Times New Roman'" size="3">Also, I think such lists would motivate package maintainers to contribute to PyPy so that it would support their package, but that's just a guess.</font></div></div>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>There is already the "PyPy compatibility" wiki, where your input is welcome:</div><div><a href="https://bitbucket.org/pypy/compatibility/wiki/Home" target="_blank">https://bitbucket.org/pypy/compatibility/wiki/Home</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>About the packages you mentioned: django and sqlite are known to work,</div><div>lxml does not work at the moment because it relies on too many unsupported C API,</div><div>and I managed to make pywin32 work correctly, but only with a patch that I haven't yet submitted to the pywin32 developers.</div>
