hello again,
just a short but important info. The berlin sprint hacks resulted in
a few external packages we are using now (sometimes slightly adapted for
our evil purposes). This means that you absolutely need to
checkout using this url:
http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/trunk/src
and NOT .../src/pypy which wouldn't give you the external packages
that PyPy currently depends on. These packages are bound into the
pypy-project via the notion of 'svn:externals'. this is a property
you can stick to a subversion-controled directory. When doing 'svn up'
or 'svn co' on such a directory the external items will be fetched
and integrated into your working-copy. Here is the current list of
packages we use:
Pyrex slightly hacked version of Pyrex-0.8.2
Plex the Lexer that Pyrex uses
vpath a package that helps with filename/file-manipulation
Soon there will also be an external to a subtree of Jonathan D. Riehls
Python-Parser (which is part of Basil now living in
http://codespeak.net/svn/basil). This will allow us to do the complete
tokenize/parser/compile cycle with plain python packages.
cheers,
holger

The sprint went well. Before I got there, they got an inference engine
working. It is now inferring things correctly. Its very pretty. Then
I went and spoiled the party by making everybody work on funding issues.
Nicolas Chauvat of Logilab and Alistair Burt of DKFI showed up and gave
us the benefit of their wisdom having done EU funding things before. We
are working on getting them in the project. This is exciting from the
point of view of 'getting this funded' but it isn't technically all
that interesting.
I don't know about the rest of the gang, but I am dead tired. I will
leave technical update to somebody more qualified, but wanted to let you
know that yes, this is working. We will have another Sprint. Amsterdam
looks good this time.
Laura -- stuck in a maze of twisty little EU intellectual property
pronouncements, all different :-)
