EU funding for PyPy: http://conferences.agilealliance.org/sessions/20060356 Then there's trying to get funding to have NumPy support PyPy or vice versa: http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2011/10/numpy-funding-and-status-update.html Kirby On Sat, Aug 30, 2014 at 6:13 PM, kirby urner <kirby.urner@gmail.com> wrote:

In sketching out the Python ecosystem in broad brush terms, is it fair to say NumPy gets a lot of US investment whereas PyPy is more an EU pet project? Or is that too broad brush?

Too broad. In investment terms, PyPy gets from _everywhere_, including lots from the USA. But PyPy core contributors are still mostly from not-in-the-USA ... unless things have changed in the last 6 months while I have been busy elsewhere.

OK. I was partly asking because I know the US government is putting funds directly into Blaze:

I don't know if the US government itself directly pays for PyPy development, but my impression is the EU itself does.
