[Python-Dev] Re: PyPy on PySide6 is there: PyPy with a Gui

This is very cool Chris -- thanks!

One question:

and with the amazing result of speed:

PyPy 3.8 works
      10 times faster than the identical code on Python 3.10
and
      5.5 times slower than the same example in C++ Qt.

Is this primarily Python-QT interaction? or computing the mandelbrot set, for which I would expect to see performance numbers like that.

This is purely the calculation speed of Mandelbrot, run in a Gui, with the working horse being Python vs. PyPy. Qt only acts as painter after each generation or when zooming.

Since the numbers for a pure Qt application were interesting too, this was also given. But the showcase was "look ma, how fast it is, and it works in a nice Gui".

Anyway, really cool in any case -- a major step for PyPy.

Yes, I think so, too. The existence of a Gui for PyPy might create much interest for both projects.
