Re: [pypy-dev] pypy cleanup sprint

Few points from me: * Kill half concrete wrapper (kill kill kill) * Kill opaque hacks on the C backend * decide how to implement constants in rffi * think about/remove orphaned parts * finish ll2ctypes, especially rffi_platform The last one is not very much cleanup, but is needed to finish transition from rctypes (like rsocket). Also, why not make sprint in Poland? (hint, hint, cheap place). PS. Greetings from china Cheers, fijal

cleanup sprint planning
by Carl Friedrich Bolz Sept. 11, 2007

Sept. 11, 2007

Hi PyPy-Dev, there has been the vague plan for a cleanup sprint since the end of the EU project. It is becoming more concrete now: There is the vague idea of doing a sprint in October/November (probably November) at Laura's place in Gothenburg. To coordinate the possible times a bit, I have set up a doodle: http://doodle.ch/5awzskkt5mian94a Please enter your available times if you want to attend. Note that this sprint is going to be likely newbie-unfriendly because of its refactoring and … [View More]

NumPy in PyPy
by Greg Holling Sept. 11, 2007

Sept. 11, 2007

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I didn't see anything in the archives. I see that there's been some recent activity in subversion related to numpy in pypy (specifically in pypy/dist/pypy/rpython/numpy). Can anybody on this list give me some more information about this development work (goals, status, etc.)? I have an upcoming project where it might be useful. Thanks! - Greg -

Testing generated JavaScript code
by James Ascroft-Leigh Sept. 9, 2007

Sept. 9, 2007

Hi all, I am interested in the potential for PyPy to run python code within the web browser using, at least as a fallback, the JavaScript interpreter. I have my own project (very immature and not yet usable) to try an achieve just this goal and, like PyPy, my tests exercise the generated JavaScript code using an external interpreter (currently rhino). I am just writing to let you know about this great project I discovered the other day called jpype (http://jpype.sf.net/) that lets you … [View More]

Wait for the email confirmation and log in. 3. Fill out your profile: http://www.epractice.eu/myprofile/personal http://www.epractice.eu/myprofile/professional http://www.epractice.eu/myprofile/contact (If you don't want to provide professional info, we suggest you add "I just want to vote" in the required fields) 4. Vote for PloneGov by clicking here: http://www.epractice.eu/do/voteinspiring/1026 Thanks! More information below, if you're interested in what PloneGov is. _____________________________________ What is PloneGov? PloneGov aims to create a collaborative software ecosystem where governmental organizations work together, in close relationship with SMEs, to share the cost of software development and enhanced capabilities. This new initiative started by small towns now reaches all levels of public administration and spans over 13 countries on 3 continents. http://www.plonegov.org Your vote for the "Most innovative good practice" award is a unique opportunity to reach politicians and decision makers. Winning this award will highlight the maturity achieved by the Open Source collaborative model as a pragmatic way to tackle IT challenges in society. You may vote until Friday, September 7th. The Public Sector has an important influence on many sectors of society. A wider Open Source acceptance in this field is strategic to all Open Source users and advocates. Users in sectors such as Education, NGOs and businesses would directly benefit from broader adoption. It would result in a growing pool of available software, tools, and developers. Beyond the practical example of PloneGov, your vote contributes to support Open Source values that are based on collaboration, openness and fair trade. It is an opportunity to support Open Source as an innovative model of IT development in which the Public Sector, NGOs and Education can work together and all of society will benefit. -- Godefroid Chapelle (aka __gotcha)- BubbleNet http://bubblenet.be [View Less]

Branch Merged!
by Armin Rigo Sept. 5, 2007

Sept. 5, 2007

Hi all, We've just merged the pypy-more-rtti-inprogress branch. For those of you still working in there - I'm thining about Simon in particular - you need to switch back to the regular trunk. In principle, you can issue the following command in your working copy even if there are local changes, which should stay untouched as long as they don't conflict (but make a backup, just in case!): In a checkout of pypy/dist/pypy, in the 'pypy' directory: svn switch http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/… [View More]
