Hi. I am working on numpy in pypy. It would be much more challenging for me if you merged more code into the core of numpy,
Hi Matti,
I can definitely see how numpy changes cause trouble for you, and sympathize. But, can you elaborate on what kind of changes would make your life easier *that also* help make numpy proper better in their own right? Because unfortunately, I don't see how we can reasonably pass up on improvements to numpy if the only justification is to make numpypy's life easier. (I'd also love to see pypy become usable for general numerical work, but not only is it not there now, I don't see how numpypy will ultimately get us there even if we do help it along -- almost none of the ecosystem can get by numpy's python-level APIs alone.) But obviously if there are changes that are mutually beneficial, well then, that's a lot easier to justify :-)
