pypy buildbot hook overall design
by Matti Picus May 16, 2014

May 16, 2014

Hi. I am looking at adding the ability to monitor a bitbucket-hosted git repo to the bbhook module in pypy's buildbot. The current design requires a repo copy to monitor. Couldn't we just use the payload from bitbucket instead of requiring a repo copy? Matti

remove-globals-in-jit for ppc backend
by David Edelsohn May 15, 2014

May 15, 2014

Hi, David Ivan and Andre from Unicamp and I are trying to update the ppc backend to the current RPython internals API. We're trying to understand the removal of fail_boxes_int, etc. from the backends. It looks like this was done on the remove-globals-in-jit branch. I guess we need to adapt all of that branch and all of jitframe-in-heap branch to PPC. Can you help explain a little more about this patch? https://mail.python.org/pipermail/pypy-commit/2013-January/069022.html Thanks, David

PyPy download hosting
by Alex Gaynor May 14, 2014

May 14, 2014

Hi all, Right now PyPy binaries for releases are hosted on bitbucket. Unfortunately, recently bitbucket started rate limiting downloads of files, and I've seen many issues in downloading them, both myself, and from user bug reports. I'd like to move these to be hosted somewhere else, I figured the easiest would be to reuse the PSF infrastructure (hence the CC of that list). What do folks think? PyPy folks, does this work for everyone? Infra folks, any problems with this?

ZipImportError using setuptools?
by Isaac Freeman May 13, 2014

May 13, 2014

I have run across a strange error that only happens with Pypy when installing an egg as a zip package. The same does not happen with CPython. Is this a bug? Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? http://dpaste.com/1MYPK9D/ -- Isaac Freeman memotype (at) gmail.com "Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions that differ from the prejudices of their social environment.

Virtualenv
by Armin Rigo May 13, 2014

May 13, 2014

Hi all, We talked about making pip and virtualenv available by default on PyPy. I think it's a good idea but we never did it. If anyone feels like doing it and proposing it as a pull request, it would be even greater! A bientôt, Armin.

cppyy - garbage collecting of foreign objects
by Александр Киранов May 12, 2014

May 12, 2014

Hi all! I have a large C++ application and I want to use functions/classes from it in pypy. I use cppyy. My application has own memory managing policy (references counting). That's why I need to *catch* moment when pypy is deleting foreign C++ objects - all of it should be "released" before pypy exits. Can anybody advice a solution in my case? Some using of gc module or some other? Also I tried to change __del__ method of W_CPPInstance in .../pypy/module/cppyy/interp_cppyy.py. Is it right way? Sorry for my bad english, I hope you can understand me :) --- Best regards, Alexander

Heads up, remap_file_pages() possibly slated for removal from Linux
by Jake Edge May 9, 2014

May 9, 2014

Howdy folks, I wrote an article a ways back about PyPy and STM ( https://lwn.net/Articles/587923/ ) that talked PyPy using the remap_file_pages() system call on Linux. So I thought of you folks when I read an article in this week's LWN titled "The possible demise of remap_file_pages()". It is behind the subscription gate for the next week, but this link should allow you to read it: http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/597632/6f444e69b9931d1a/ If you folks are still using remap_file_pages(), you may want to speak up in the thread on linux-kernel ... jake -- Jake Edge - LWN - jake(a)lwn.net - http://lwn.net

PyPy 2.3 is ready to release today
by matti picus May 8, 2014

May 8, 2014

I will try to upload the builds later today and complete the release, unless someone asks me to delay now. We still need a volunteer to build for macos since the buildbot has some problem with the openssl versioning. If anyone can help, please translate and make sure you can run the lib-python/2.7/test directory with no failures. Matti
