problems running pypy-jvm
by Maciej Fijalkowski July 16, 2008

July 16, 2008

First of all, I cannot get jar to work. It's complaining about '@' in front of paths. Even if I remove it, it still cannot find Main class. When I run it by hand I get: debug: WARNING: library path not found, using compiled-in sys.path 'import site' failed Error calling sys.excepthook: debug: OperationError: debug: operror-type: ImportError debug: operror-value: cannot import name 'curdir' What's wrong? Cheers, fijal

by holger krekel July 14, 2008

July 14, 2008

Hi pypy-dev, would be good to rename the --faassen option sometime soon Martijn asked us multiple times already for it. What about "--cheetah" or "--falcon"? other suggestions? best, holger -- collaborative expert contracting: http://merlinux.eu PyPy Python/Compiler tool chain: http://codespeak.net/pypy pylib py.test/greenlets/svn APIs: http://pylib.org

Using pypy's translator?
by Tyler Laing July 14, 2008

July 14, 2008

Hello all. My name is Tyler, or Zeroth as my pseudonym. I'm currently undertaking a personal project, that seeks to explore pseudo-strict type checking for Python. More simply, it would analyze the code, and determine what methods/functions/operators each variable would need to support in the code, and then enforcing that all variables passed around follow the informal contract. It would merely enforce that the methods are present, and return the right(by right, meaning variables with the … [View More]

Changing the default magic number
by Bruno Gola July 14, 2008

July 14, 2008

Hi, I'm writing code to support the new 2.5 generator stuff (PEP 342) and while working on that I found a code that verifies the magic number (in pyframe.py). The default magic in PyPy is the Python2.4 one, chatting with Carl we thought it's probably a good time to change it to the 2.5 value, as we are supporting Python 2.5. What do you think? -- Bruno Fialho Marques Gola <brunogola(a)gmail.com> http://www.brunogola.com.br Cel: (11) 9294-5883

EP sprint report / blog
by holger krekel July 14, 2008

July 14, 2008

Hi pypy-dev, not sure how many pypy-dev subscribers are also reading the Blog regularly - we have been posting there about some EuroPythion 2008 events and also the sprint report, see http://morepypy.blogspot.com/ Btw, I'd find it nice to also have a blog->pypy-dev gateway - ideally one that includes relaying e-mail / comments to and fro. I wonder which blogging software might support something like this. cheers, holger -- collaborative expert contracting: http://merlinux.eu … [View More]

Play with fuzzing
by Victor Stinner July 6, 2008

July 6, 2008

Hi, I wrote a fuzzing "framework" called Fusil and this week I wrote a fuzzer for Python. The idea is quite simple: for a module, - list all functions, classes and class methods - call a function with random arguments (of random types) - instanciate a class with random arguments - if the class is created correctly, call methods with random arguments Example: --------------------- 8< ----------------------------------- print "Call 39/40: linuxaudiodev.open()" try: linuxaudiodev.… [View More]

Small dicts
by Armin Rigo July 1, 2008

July 1, 2008

Hi all, "withsmalldicts" is not enabled by default, I suppose because we measured that it didn't help. However I've found a bug which I think means that even when the option is enabled, they won't be used in most common cases. The bug is that the option is checked in EmptyDictImplementation.setitem() but not in EmptyDictImplementation.setitem_str(): the latter always creates a non-small StrDictImplementation. Anyone feels like fixing and re-measuring this? Armin

channel logs
by Carl Friedrich Bolz July 1, 2008

July 1, 2008

Hi all, just wanted to note that the braintone logs seem to work at the moment, so you can read the as a stopgap measure here: http://merlinux.de/braintone/chat.freenode.net/pypy/last/50/ The format is not so nice, so I would actually really like pybot back :-). Cheers, Carl Friedrich
