PyPy as micropython Replacement
Hi All, I was wondering if PyPy would be a good candidate to create an embedded distribution of Python similar to micropython. Do you think it would be feasible to create an installation (stripped of things like Tkinter and other unneeded modules) that could execute with as little as say 2-4 MB of heap on an ARM7 running Linux? Thanks, Mark

No, PyPy's minimal memory requirements are larger than CPython's. A bientôt, Armin.
OK. Thanks for the quick reply, Armin. Mark On Tue., Mar. 19, 2019, 12:01 p.m. Armin Rigo, <armin.rigo@gmail.com> wrote:
