[pypy-dev] PyPy JIT & C extensions, greenlet

[Maciej Fijalkowski]

Hey.

greenlet C module is quite incompatible with pypy and won't work.
However making pypy work with jit and stackless is something that
requires a bit of work only (teaching jit how to unroll the stack
mostly) and I plan to look into it in the very near future.

Cheers,
fijal
