+* Rewrite one or several CPython extension modules to be based on **ctypes** + (newly integrated in Python 2.5): this is generally useful for Python + developpers, and it is now the best path to write extension modules that are + compatible with both CPython and PyPy. See for example + http://wiki.python.org/moin/CodingProjectIdeas/PygameOnCtypes . A related + idea is to provide efficient numeric arrays (as in numeric/numpy/numarray) + in this way.
How a SoC (2 months longer) task can be? I'd like to apply for this kind of project but I'd like to know more about it too. We can discuss about 5, or 10 or so modules that PyPy needs? Or it's up to the student to choose them? Thanks in advance. -- Lawrence http://www.oluyede.org/blog
