+=======================
+  This Week in PyPy 7
+=======================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This is the seventh summary of what's been going on in the world of
+PyPy in the last week.  I'd still like to remind people that when
+something worth summarizing happens to recommend if for "This Week in
+PyPy" as mentioned on:
+
+    http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/weekly/
+
+where you can also find old summaries.
+
+There were about 110 commits to the pypy section of codespeak's
+repository in the last week.
+
+
+The Sprint!
+===========
+
+The last weekly summary was written towards then end of the sprint.
+The things we did in the couple of remaining weeks were written up in
+the second sprint report:
+
+    http://codespeak.net/pipermail/pypy-dev/2005q4/002660.html
+
+Apart from continuing our work from the first half of the sprint, the
+main new work was implementing __del__ support in the translated PyPy.
+
+
+IRC Summary
+===========
+
+Thanks again to Pieter for this.
+
+**Monday** http://tismerysoft.de/pypy/irc-logs/pypy/%23pypy.log.20051212::
+
+ [00:26] Stakkars says that it is great that pypy does not punish you for
+         indirection. He is of meaning that he writes better style in RPython
+         than in Python, because the "it is slow" aspect is gone.
+
+**Tuesday** http://tismerysoft.de/pypy/irc-logs/pypy/%23pypy.log.20051213::
+
+ [21:01] Heatsink says that he is doing some dynamic optimizations in CPython.
+         This turns into a discussion about the nature of pypy, and Arigo takes
+         us on a tour of how pypy and the JIT will interact in the future. A
+         good read of general pypy ideas.
+ 
+**Thursday** http://tismerysoft.de/pypy/irc-logs/pypy/%23pypy.log.20051215::
+
+ [10:24] Ericvrp discovers an optimization that makes pypy 6.8x slower than
+         CPython on the richards test suite. All if-elses are converted to
+         switches. Cfbolz replies that it is time to write a graph
+         transformation to implement this optimization officially.
