Congrats Christian! It sounds like this will open new avenues for PyPy (and maybe also for Qt/PySide6). --Guido On Thu, Feb 3, 2022 at 4:25 AM Christian Tismer-Sperling < tismer@stackless.com> wrote:
Hi Guido et. al.,
since May 2021 I have been working at running PyPy on PySide6, which was a difficult undertaking, since PyPy internally is quite a bit different.
I declared the project to be ready-to-use when the Mandelbrot example of the PySide examples (examples/corelib/threads/mandelbrot.py) is working.
This was finally solved this week on 2022-02-01, so we have the
first advanced Gui working with PyPy
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.
I think to send an official announce when this is available on pip.
This effort marks the completion of my PyPy support, which began in 2003 and ended involuntarily in 2006 due to a stroke.
All the best -- Chris -- Christian Tismer-Sperling :^) tismer@stackless.com Software Consulting : http://www.stackless.com/ Strandstraße 37 : https://github.com/PySide 24217 Schönberg : GPG key -> 0xFB7BEE0E phone +49 173 24 18 776 fax +49 (30) 700143-0023
