How close is pypy to being able to support extensions written for boost::python?

It's not extraordinary difficult, but there are many things to do. At least this target is inside the scope of the cpyext module. I tried to compile boost::python using pypy headers. They are many missing functions, most of them are easy to implement; but PyRun_File and PySliceObject will be more difficult. Volunteers are welcome! In case you want to start, here are the compilation errors I got: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/203663/ The missing PyList_, PyDict_ and PyComplex_ functions are probably the most easy to implement, and a good way to enter the code of the cpyext module. -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc
