[pypy-dev] Percentage Python as RPython.

[Dan Roberts]

Hi Todd,
I'm not sure what your goals are, but my position is that if you write a
translator backend and a JIT backend (please do) you can have fast (and
improving) python on platform X.  What were you hoping to target with your
backend?
Cheers,
Dan

 Sorry if this has been asked before.  I did some searching of the archive
and didn’t see anything but I might have missed it.



I am curious what percentage of real-world Python programs in use are also
RPython programs.  I know that the FAQ says that the translator is not
intended for Python programs in general but only for the PyPy interpreter
itself but I’ve also seen a few mentions (on other sites) of attempting to
translate Python to C.  I’ve been thinking about adding a backend to the
translator but would only want to do so if a significant amount of Python
programs could use it.



thanks,



Todd
