A new webpage promoting Compiler technology for CPython
Hey all, With Numba and Blaze we have been doing a lot of work on what essentially is compiler technology and realizing more and more that we are treading on ground that has been plowed before with many other projects. So, we wanted to create a web-site and perhaps even a mailing list or forum where people could coordinate and communicate about compiler projects, compiler tools, and ways to share efforts and ideas. The website is: http://compilers.pydata.org/ This page is specifically for Compiler projects that either integrate with or work directly with the CPython run-time which is why PyPy is not presently listed. The PyPy project is a great project but we just felt that we wanted to explicitly create a collection of links to compilation projects that are accessible from CPython which are likely less well known. But that is just where we started from. The website is intended to be a community website constructed from a github repository. So, we welcome pull requests from anyone who would like to see the website updated to reflect their related project. Jon Riehl (Mython, PyFront, ROFL, and many other interesting projects) and Stephen Diehl (Blaze) and I will be moderating the pull requests to begin with. But, we welcome others with similar interests to participate in that effort of moderation. The github repository is here: https://github.com/pydata/compilers-webpage This is intended to be a community website for information spreading, and so we welcome any and all contributions. Thank you, Travis Oliphant

I won't argue here with the exclusion of PyPy, but RPython is definitely compiler technology that runs on CPython 2.6/2.7. For now, it is only accessible from a source checkout of PyPy but that will soon change and "pip install rpython" isn't far off. Since it's a whole tool chain, it has a wealth of functionalities, though they aren't always well-documented or easy to access from the outside: bytecode analysis, type inference, several GC implementations, a JIT generator, assemblers for several architectures, ... Cheers, Ronan

Thank you. Should this be listed: https://github.com/mdipierro/ocl ? It is based on meta (which is listed) and pyopencl (which is listed, only used to run with opencl) and has some overlap with Cython and Pyjamas although it is not based on any of them. It is minimalist in scope: it only coverts to C/JS/OpenCL a common subset of those languages. But it does what it advertises. It is written in pure python and implemented and implemented in a single file. Massimo On Feb 16, 2013, at 10:13 AM, Ronan Lamy wrote:

We should take this discussion off list. Please email me directly if you have questions. But, we are open to listing all of these tools. On Feb 16, 2013 10:46 AM, "Massimo DiPierro" <massimo.dipierro@gmail.com> wrote:

Just as a bystander interested in this: why? It seems that OCL is within the scope of what's being proposed and another entrant into the vibrant new world of compiler-extended machinery for fast numerical work in cpython, so I suspect I'm not the only numpy user curious to know the answer on-list. I know sometimes there are legitimate reasons to take a discussion off-list, but in this case it seemed to be a perfectly reasonable question that also made me curious (as I only learned of OCL thanks to this discussion).

I only meant off the NumPy list as it seems this is off-topic for this forum. I thought I made clear in the rest of the paragraph that we would *love* this contribution. I recommend a pull request. If you want to discuss this in public. Let's have the discussion over at numfocus@googlegroups.com until a more specific list is created.

Sounds good. I actually think numfocus is a great list for these kind of 'in-between' discussions that don't quite fit a specific project too well, but for things that also don't warrant their own mailing list yet. I'd love it if the numfocus list was always seen as a good space for that kind of 'connective tissue' work in our own community. Obviously there's a point where such topics may evolve into their own projects, but in the past we haven't had a good space for that kind of thing, and in my mind the numfocus list can really help play that role.
