Hi All, My name is Luis Novoa. Im working on a large scale optimization problem using python/gurobipy for my implementation. I was wondering if any of you in this list has used gurobipy with pypy, or if it is even possible at this time. Thanks in advance, Luis.

Details on project idea: Explicit typing in RPython
by joannah nanjekye April 3, 2017

April 3, 2017

Hello, I am interested in working on the above project. I need to understand what it is about so that I can make a plan for it. I would love to work on it for GSoC if accepted. In summary..I want to know the goal and the most important stack involved working on it. I am proficient in python. If the above project idea is not so much in that direction you can advise a better idea among the ones listed here http://pypy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/project-ideas.html. Kind regards, -- Joannah Nanjekye +256776468213 F : Nanjekye Captain Joannah S : joannah.nanjekye T : @captainjoannah SO : joannah *"You think you know when you learn, are more sure when you can write, even more when you can teach, but certain when you can program."

pypy real world example, a django project data processing. but slow...
by Vláďa Macek March 31, 2017

March 31, 2017

Hi, recently I asked my friends to run my sort of a benchmark on their machines (attached). The goal was to test the speed of different data access in python2 and python3, 32bit and 64bit. One of my friends sent me the pypy results -- the script ran fast as hell! Astounding. At home I have a 64bit Dell laptop running 32bit Ubuntu 14.04. I downloaded your binary https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/downloads/pypy2-v5.7.0-linux32.tar.bz2 and confirmed my friend's results, wow. I develop a large Django project, that includes a big amount of background data processing. Reads large files, computes, issues much SQL to postgresql via psycopg2, every 5 minutes. Heavily uses memcache daemon between runs. I'd welcome a speedup here very much. So let's give it a try. Installed psycopg2cffi (via pip in virtualenv), set up the paths and ran. The computation printouts were the same, very promising -- taking into account how complicated the project is! The SQL looked right too. My respect on compatiblity! Unfortunately, the time needed to complete was double in comparison CPython 2.7 for exactly the same task. You mention you might have some tips for why it's slow. Are you interested in getting in touch? Although I rather can't share the code and data with you, I'm offering a real world example of significant load that might help Pypy get better.

Hi all, https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2508/dictionary-pop-with-default-fai… This is a core regression found by Jason and fixed by Alex Gaynor. Thanks to both! Is this justification enough to plan a 5.7.1 release soon? A bientôt, Armin.

Remove cpyext.load_module()?
by Manuel Jacob March 23, 2017

March 23, 2017

Hi, In order to implement PEP 489 (Multi-phase extension module initialization) on py3.5 I need to change the way app-level Python code interacts with extension module loading internals. Maintaining cpyext.load_module() is a bit annoying. Probably the best way would be to delegate straight to imp.load_dynamic(). But then the question is why we need it in the first place. I'd like to remove cpyext.load_module() on both default and py3.5. -Manuel

March 23, 2017

Hi All I built pypy 2 5.7 from the source on Ubuntu 14.04 and installed numpy 1.12.1 via pip. When running numpy.test('full'), I noticed there was a segfault. I tested pypy 2 5.6 with numpy 1.12.1 too. I didn't see any segfault. Regards gelin yan

lltype.Signed type in ThreadLocalReference
by John Zhang March 22, 2017

March 22, 2017

Hi all, I’m wondering why rthread.ThreadLocalReference is initialised to have lltype.Signed type (rthread.py:387). If in get() it’s retrieved as rclass.OBJECTPTR, why not just set the type of the field to be OBJECTPTR? is this related to some specific optimisation? The problem I’m having is that in my back-end I cannot cast an integer to a GC-ed heap object reference (which the OBJECTPTR translates to), it can only be cast to a non-GC-ed memory object reference (a different memory space not part of the GC managed heap). Any ideas?

Dear all, Is there anyone also having the problem that CPython2.7 or PyPy2 randomly crashes when compiling PyPy (several latest versions on hg)?
