Re: [Edu-sig] Looking back on OSCON XVI
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. Laura

OK. I was partly asking because I know the US government is putting funds directly into Blaze: http://continuum.io/blog/blaze I don't know if the US government itself directly pays for PyPy development, but my impression is the EU itself does. Kirby
