further pypy repo migrations
by holger krekel Feb. 24, 2011

Feb. 24, 2011

hi all, i'd like to continue consolidation of PyPy repositories (and more generally pypy services but that in a separate mail). Thanks to Ronny Pfannschmidt, sponsorship from merlinux (my company), and work from Armin, Anto and others the main PyPy development repository has been migrated to mercurial on Bitbucket. Btw, we just asked and Bitbucket nicely upgraded the PyPy project account to become an unlimited one, thanks! Now we still have some more repositories on codespeak svn. One is "… [View More]

Writing Mixed Modules for MacOS
by Dan Colish Feb. 23, 2011

Feb. 23, 2011

I've been working on porting the OSX specific libraries in CPython to PyPy and I'm running into issues. The shape of many fundamental data structures used in the CoreFoundation libraries are not available to me. I was hoping to just fudge it by using a ptr to that structure, but it is not working out as I had hoped. Here is a terribly incorrect sample of what I've been hacking on: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/yENK4gE11yRM9i6p46Ra and here is the corresponding osx documentation: http://goo.gl/… [View More]

Couple of questions...
by Luke Taylor Feb. 23, 2011

Feb. 23, 2011

Hi everybody, I'm not a developer but I'm a keen fan of pypy and I have been watching the project for about 6 months now. I'm interested to know.. if there are any plans to make PyPy implement Python 3.x ? Why don't extension modules for Python with bits written in C (eg. SciPy) work with PyPy? Thanks for your time, Luke

Holger Krekel is the person to talk with. But he hasn't been around for a few days. I think he is on vacation. Laura

CfP: ICOOOLPS 2011
by Carl Friedrich Bolz Feb. 18, 2011

Feb. 18, 2011

Hi all, I think we should consider sending a paper to ICOOOLPS this year again, see call for papers below. Carl Friedrich -- Call For Papers for the sixth annual workshop on Implementation, Compilation, Optimization of Object-Oriented Languages, Programs and Systems (ICOOOLPS) to be held at ECOOP 2011 in Lancaster, UK on July 26th 2011 http://www.icooolps.info/ Overview: Computer programming languages, especially Object-Oriented languages, are pervasive and play a significant role … [View More]in computer science and engineering life and sometime appear as ubiquitous and completely mature. However, despite a large number of works, there still is a clear need for solutions for efficient implementation and compilation of OO languages in various application domains ranging from embedded and real-time systems to desktop systems. The ICOOOLPS workshop thus aims to address this crucial issue of optimization, mainly but not only in OO languages, programs and systems. It intends to do so by bringing together researchers and practitioners working in the field of implementation and optimization of programming languages. Its main goals are identifying fundamental bases and key current issues pertaining to the efficient implementation, compilation and optimization of OO languages, and outlining future challenges and research directions. An expected output of this workshop is a synthesis identifying fundamental bases and key current issues pertaining to the efficient implementation and compilation of OO languages, in order to spread them further amongst the various computing systems. It is also intended to extend this synthesis to encompass future challenges and research directions in the field of OO languages implementation and optimization, as well as non-OO languages. Important Dates: Workshop paper submission: April 15, 2011 Workshop paper acceptance: May 20, 2011 Workshop: July 26, 2011 Program Committee: Mark van den Brand TU Eindhoven, The Netherlands Peter Dickman Google, Switzerland Roland Ducournau LIRMM, France M.

Separate compilation and friends
by Maciej Fijalkowski Feb. 16, 2011

Feb. 16, 2011

Hi. There is growing interest about PyPy and especially about extension modules. Apparently there are some people (like Alex) that are willing to write modules in RPython that should not go to the main tree. Since separate compilation is considered hard, how hard would it be to provide separate loading? This would mean you still compile the whole interpreter, but you can load the module from a compiled PyPy that didn't have this option on. Cheers, fijal
