M.Sc. student introducing myself
Hello, I'm a computer science student who intent to work on PyPy for my M.Sc. thesis. I have been a passionate Python programmer for seven years, and I additionally knows C, C++, Java, Oz, Lisp and Assembler. My academic interests are algorithms, compilers and evolutionary algorithms, and I have completed classes which covers these topics, which means I know what compilers does and why, and the optimizations they can do. I'm pleased that I have been allowed to focus my thesis on PyPy, but I don't yet know what the scope of my thesis will be. At the moment numpy support in PyPy looks interesting, and I have read the blogs/mails regarding this topic. I won't start any actual work on my thesis until the new year, but I hope to spend summer and autumn getting familiar with the project and contributing in any way I can. So far I have only read through the dev docs, and compiled PyPy from source (which took 4.6 hours with cpython and 3.7h with pypy on my laptop). I have been following this list since easter, and I can be found in #pypy on freenode. -- Even Wiik eventh@gmail.com

Hi Geat to hear, welcome! We recently have put up a list of interesting mid-size project for PyPy, feel free to have a look: http://pypy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/project-ideas.html (except the website seems to be down for me at the moment)

Welcome to the project! It would be great if your thesis topic would be numpy support, that's a feature we really want to have. If you have any questions or need any help, please tell us.

Note that in practice we rarely do translations on our own machines, but use our build servers. If you need access to one of these machines, please ask on the IRC channel. Cheers, Carl Friedrich
