[many more binaries than expected]
btw, i forgot all about it: this is mainly the Zope-Database (ZODB) which is independent from Zope and has quite some parts written in C, for performance reasons ASFAIK. I'd say they are applying a common technique with high-level-languages: rapidly prototype in Python and reimplement the speed-relevant parts in C (and maintain it). It's rather obvious how PyPy could help here :-)
Absolutely. Zope can reverse its path and move its core back to where it belongs: Python. This is what is going to happen if we really get the project funded, and a few of us might work almost fulltime on PyPy: All C extensions can probably envision their death, sooner or later. And this is such a huge achievement, since the amount of man hours saved in the future is countable infinite. :-) Probably a selling argument which should get into pypy-funding... ciao - chris -- Christian Tismer :^) <mailto:tismer@tismer.com> Mission Impossible 5oftware : Have a break!
