Maintaining an exhaustive list of supported and non-supported packages
Would it be possible to maintain a user-generated exhaustive list of supported and non-supported packages? I believe this would help people considering the use of PyPy in their decision to try it out. For example - I'm working on a project with the following dependencies: Python 2.7, django (with sqlite), pytz, lxml, pywin32 Sure, I'll get around to actually testing PyPy with these dependencies in a month or two, but if a supported vs. non-supported list would be available, that would get me going much faster. Also, I think such lists would motivate package maintainers to contribute to PyPy so that it would support their package, but that's just a guess. Regards, Jonathan

Not only would it be possible, it is currently done! https://bitbucket.org/pypy/compatibility/wiki/Home We should probably link here from the 'compatability' page on the user-facing website. -- William Leslie
Excellent! William - you're right, it would be good to have a link from the compatibility page, that's the first place I looked before starting this thread :) On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 9:33 AM, William ML Leslie < william.leslie.ttg@gmail.com> wrote:

There is already the "PyPy compatibility" wiki, where your input is welcome: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/compatibility/wiki/Home About the packages you mentioned: django and sqlite are known to work, lxml does not work at the moment because it relies on too many unsupported C API, and I managed to make pywin32 work correctly, but only with a patch that I haven't yet submitted to the pywin32 developers. -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc
