Runtime module loading
by Timothy Baldridge March 26, 2011

March 26, 2011

I have a program written in RPython. Is there a built-in way to import other RPython modules at runtime? Or is that some sort of upcoming feature? Basically I'm writing a language using RPython and I'm trying to figure out how to allow the user to load modules without making them create an FFI.

Ctypes module written in RPython
by Alex Perry March 25, 2011

March 25, 2011

I can't find it in the docs, but it has been alluded to in the past. How far is the project from being able to compile a rpython module? I'd expect that to emit a wrapper that imports ctypes and declares calls into a shared library, and a directory of C code which implements the internals and can compile into the expected shared library.

When translating pypy, how do I notify it of library locations?
by Alexander Golec March 23, 2011

March 23, 2011

I'm building pypy with the default JIT configuration, and I'm on a machine where I do not have root access. I've installed the libraries that I need in my ~/lib folder, but I can't get pypy to see them. I can neither see the library files, nor the headers. I've tried setting the following options : --cflags=COMPILERFLAGS --ldflags=LINKERFLAGS but to no avail... Alex

way to refer to our online doc

March 23, 2011

over on bitbucket I am looking at https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/src/04d276c92744/pypy/doc/ and I assume that the 04*44 is just some revision number. How do we want to refer to the docs in general now that we have moved? Laura
