my ADSL is misbehaving :(, so I'm limited to dial-up, until it's fixed, I will check e-mail once a day, but don't expect/assume around-the-clock online presence from my part. Samuele.

found -- place to hold Sprint before EuroPython
by Laura Creighton 28 Apr '03

Leuven University. http://www.leuven.com/index_en.html 35 km from the airport. More exact details about housing/food as I get them. Thanks to Tom Deprez, EuroPython organiser, whose university this is and who set all of this up. Even if he cannot Sprint we us, we all owe him beer.

Michael Hudson's airfair will be substantially cheaper if we plan on Saturday 24 -- Saturday 31 st, not Sunday 25th -- Sunday 1st. Everybody else is busy being agreeable, so I am going to book times 24th -- 31st. Laura

accomodations
by Laura Creighton 23 Apr '03

23 Apr '03

I can get some very nice rooms here at the same place where Alex Martelli and Petra van der Elsen stay when they are in town (which Alex will be the week 25 May to June 1. (Sunday to Sunday). cost 2180 SEK /week (shared 2 to a room). (1 SEK = 9.14 Euros). That would be 238 Euros (or 154 each). If you don't want to share, the rate is 1850 SEK a week (cost 202 Euros). The same rooms can be rented either 1/room or 2/room. What shall I rent? My tentative plan is for 1 single (for Christian who smokes) and 1 double and 1 single (Samuele, Armin and Michael get to work out who gets the single in this set.) Anybody want to change this plan?

Sprint last week in May
by Laura Creighton 21 Apr '03

21 Apr '03

I propose we have a Sprint in Gothenburg where I live the last week of May. Gotheburg is conveniently 1 hop away by Ryan Air from London Stansted, and Frankfurt Hahn. Virgin Express also flies to Gothenburg. The last week of May could mean anything from Friday the 23rd to Sunday the 31st. We need to set the exact dates. I think the next thing to do, after setting a date, is to set up a date and time to meet on #pypy. (Unless you prefer discussing on a mailing list). I would like to find out who besides Christian, Armin, and Michael (whom I have heard from already) are interested in attending this Sprint. I would also like to discuss 'non-computer things you would like to do when you are here'. Gothenburg has a lot to offer -- I would like to know what your interests are. Post them to the list. We need to plan food and of course, the content of the Sprint itself. Also I need to arrange accomodation. I shall get prices for the 3 youth hostels which are walking distance from Jacob's and my apartment -- blocks away. Anybody want fancier accomodations? What else are people interested in? happily, Laura

Pypy frontend
by logistix 19 Apr '03

Kudos on Rocco for getting EXEC_STMT to work! I had tried and given up when it was throwing some crazy exceptions. This prevented you from being able to use code.InteractiveConsole. This problem seems to be fixed now. The idea behind my frontend it to get inside the pypy environment as quickly as possible. Although interpreter\interactive.py is a good proof of concept, it really only runs a small percentage of the interpreter in pypy. This frontend simply instansiates and environment and runs "import code;code.InteractiveConsole();" This is being executed within pypy. A also did some funky stuff to allow pypy to exist outside of Cpython's pythonpath. The idea here is to isolate the pypy environment from Cpython as quickly as possible. Attached is pypython.py (for some reason I can't figure out how to attach to the issue tracker). To test, save it in your pypy directory. >From there 'pypython.py' will bring up the interactive console, and 'pypython script.py' will run a script. -logistix
