It is not very convenient to read PyPy archives and track selected threads. Is it possible to provide a groups mirror (even read-only will suffice)? -- anatoly t.

[SUSPECTED SPAM] GOD SAID HE IS NO LONGER SLEEPING ROUGH ON THE STREETS WITH THE HOMELESS
by The End Time Message Oct. 27, 2011

Oct. 27, 2011

http://theendtimemessage.blogspot.com GOD said HE is not sleeping on the streets any more with the homeless, HE is using a shelter, it was too cold. GOD said don't stop doing what you are doing for the homeless, you are helping HIM by helping them. GOD said HE would like to commend everyone for what they are doing for the homeless. GOD said HE would like to thank David Cameron again for the warm, thick socks. GOD SAID HE IS SLEEPING ON THE STREETS TONIGHT WITH THE HOMELESS GOD said I … [View More]should remind people to wash the blankets first before they give them to the homeless, so that it is given with a good heart. GOD said if you have spare sleeping bags, sleeping bags are better and a small pillow. GOD said some of them are hungry. If you have a flask, put a hot drink in it, HE would appreciate it. GOD said HE is sleeping out on the streets with the homeless. GOD said if you have any old warm jumpers and spare woolly socks, bring them with you, it's cold! GOD said don't take the food or clothes to the shelters, they do not need them. GOD said HE will protect you, come in twos if you are afraid, the people who need it are underneath the railway arches and in the doorways of buildings in the cities and on the streets. I wrote this song in 1994 after giving MY life to Jesus. In 1983 I was homeless for about 3 months. One night I was followed in the early hours of the morning while I was walking the streets after sleeping on people's doorsteps and I didn't feel safe in the big block of flats I was in and I was nearly murdered that night. I was almost 9 months pregnant and I was only 16 years old. Take a copy of the song and tell the homeless I love them and I'm sorry that I am in this house and they are on the streets. GOD said if you have an empty building that you are not using, you can open it up and offer it to the homeless for the winter, because it is cold. This song is for the homeless. I AM giving people permission to use this song. Any money made from this song, all the proceeds must go to the homeless and I don't want the money to be given to a charitable organisation, I want the money handed out on the streets to the individuals who are homeless, worldwide. I trust people are not going to be selfish. COBBLE AND STONE I was cold and I was hungry Cobble and stone made my bed I was crying and I was weeping And you offered me your abode When all I needed was a friend Someone to talk with me now and then It could have all worked out different when Inspiration, you brought me salvation There were cries of desperation I had nothing left to lose I was afraid, the isolation But what else could I do? When all I needed was a friend Someone to talk with me now and then It could have all worked out different when Inspiration, you brought me salvation When all I held was on the line And my troubled soul grew weary When I felt numb inside And nothing more could hurt me Thats when you came along Right on time.

Maintaining an exhaustive list of supported and non-supported packages
by Jonathan Livni Oct. 24, 2011

Oct. 24, 2011

Would it be possible to maintain a user-generated exhaustive list of supported and non-supported packages? I believe this would help people considering the use of PyPy in their decision to try it out. For example - I'm working on a project with the following dependencies: Python 2.7, django (with sqlite), pytz, lxml, pywin32 Sure, I'll get around to actually testing PyPy with these dependencies in a month or two, but if a supported vs. non-supported list would be available, that would get me … [View More]

Questions on the pypy+numpy project
by Ian Ozsvald Oct. 19, 2011

Oct. 19, 2011

Hi all. Hi Fijal, you tweeted in response to my https://twitter.com/#!/ianozsvald/status/124898441087299584 the other day. I met Travis Oliphant on Friday at the Enthought Cambridge office opening. Didrik Pinte and I mentioned that we'd offered £600 each towards pypy+numpy integration. Travis had a few thoughts on the matter and this has left me in the position of not being sure of the full costs and benefits of the pypy+numpy project. The main position (held by Travis and several others - … [View More]

Contributing to pypy [especially numpy]
by Samuel Vaiter Oct. 18, 2011

Oct. 18, 2011

Hi, I am willing to contribute to PyPy, especially on Numpy port. The main reason why Numpy is my main interest is that as Ph.D student in Applied Mathematics, I really hope one day we will be able to perform numerical computation without using heavy binding in C/Fortran or intermediate solution like Cython. I didn't contribute to any opensource project yet, and I may have to learn some conventions. However, I'm a regular user of DCVS. Looking at the source code and the dev mailing list, it's … [View More]

PyPy Sprint Nov 2 - 9 in Gothenburg, Sweden
by Laura Creighton Oct. 17, 2011

Oct. 17, 2011

PyPy Göteborg Post-Hallowe'en Sprint Nov 2nd - Nov 9th ========================================================= The next PyPy sprint will be in Gothenburg, Sweden. It is a public sprint, suitable for newcomers. We'll focus on making a public kickoff for both the `numpy/pypy integration project`_ and the `Py3k support project`_, as well as whatever interests the Sprint attendees. Since both of these projects are very new, there will be plenty of work suitable for newcomers to PyPy. .. _`… [View More]numpy/pypy integration project`: http://pypy.org/numpydonate.html .. _`Py3k interpreter project`: http://pypy.org/py3donate.html Other topics might include: - Helping people get their code running with PyPy - work on a FSCons talk? - state of the STM Vinnova project (We most likely, but not for certain will know whether or not we are approved by this date.) Other Useful dates ------------------ GothPyCon_ - Saturday Oct 29. .. _GothPyCon: http://www.meetup.com/GothPy/events/32864862/ FSCONS_ Friday Nov 11 - Sunday Nov 12. .. _FSCONS: http://fscons.org/ Location -------- The sprint will be held in the apartment of Laura Creighton and Jacob Hallén which is at Götabergsgatan 22 in Gothenburg, Sweden. Here is a map_. This is in central Gothenburg. It is between the tram_ stops of Vasaplatsen and Valand, (a distance of 4 blocks) where many lines call -- the 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10 and 13. .. _tram: http://www.vasttrafik.se/en/ .. _map: http://bit.ly/grRuQe Probably cheapest and not too far away is to book accomodation at `SGS Veckobostader`_. The `Elite Park Avenyn Hotel`_ is a luxury hotel just a few blocks away. There are scores of hotels a short walk away from the sprint location, suitable for every budget, desire for luxury, and desire for the unusual. You could, for instance, stay on a `boat`_. Options are too numerous to go into here. Just ask in the mailing list or on the blog. .. _`SGS Veckobostader`: http://www.sgsveckobostader.se/en .. _`Elite Park Avenyn Hotel`: http://www.elite.se/hotell/goteborg/park/ .. _`boat`: http://www.liseberg.se/en/home/Accommodation/Hotel/Hotel-Barken-Viking/ Hours will be from 10:00 until people have had enough. It's a good idea to arrive a day before the sprint starts and leave a day later. In the middle of the sprint there usually is a break day and it's usually ok to take half-days off if you feel like it. Of course, many of you may be interested in sticking around for FSCons, held the weekend after the sprint. Good to Know ------------ Sweden is not part of the Euro zone. One SEK (krona in singular, kronor in plural) is roughly 1/10th of a Euro (9.36 SEK to 1 Euro). The venue is central in Gothenburg. There is a large selection of places to get food nearby, from edible-and-cheap to outstanding. We often cook meals together, so let us know if you have any food allergies, dislikes, or special requirements. Sweden uses the same kind of plugs as Germany. 230V AC. Getting Here ------------ If are coming train, you will arrive at the `Central Station`_. It is about 12 blocks to the site from there, or you can take a tram_. There are two airports which are local to Göteborg, `Landvetter`_ (the main one) and `Gothenburg City Airport`_ (where some budget airlines fly). If you arrive at `Landvetter`_ the airport bus stops right downtown at `Elite Park Avenyn Hotel`_ which is the second stop, 4 blocks from the Sprint site, as well as the end of the line, which is the `Central Station`_. If you arrive at `Gothenburg City Airport`_ take the bus to the end of the line. You will be at the `Central Station`_. You can also arrive by ferry_, from either Kiel in Germany or Frederikshavn in Denmark. .. _`Central Station`: http://bit.ly/fON43p .. _`Landvetter`: http://swedavia.se/en/Goteborg/Traveller-information/Traffic-information/ .. _`Gothenburg City Airport`: http://www.goteborgairport.se/eng.asp .. _ferry: http://www.stenaline.nl/en/ferry/ Who's Coming? -------------- If you'd like to come, please let us know when you will be arriving and leaving, as well as letting us know your interests We'll keep a list of `people`_ which we'll update (which you can do so yourself if you have bitbucket pypy commit rights). .. _`people`: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/extradoc/src/tip/sprintinfo/gothenburg-2011/peop… [View Less]

Pypy+cython
by Yaacov Finkelman Oct. 17, 2011

Oct. 17, 2011

How hard would it be to get Pypy to import uncompiled cython files? If we could teach Pypy to ignore cython's additions to the language then the jit will provide the performance boost. Jacob
