[pypy-dev] Some NumPyPy propositions

Well, I just got this:

  *


            File
            "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Flask-0.8-py2.7.egg/flask/app.py",
            line /1518/, in |__call__|

    return self.wsgi_app(environ, start_response)

  *


            File
            "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Flask-0.8-py2.7.egg/flask/app.py",
            line /1506/, in |wsgi_app|

    response = self.make_response(self.handle_exception(e))

  *


            File
            "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Flask-0.8-py2.7.egg/flask/app.py",
            line /1504/, in |wsgi_app|

    response = self.full_dispatch_request()

  *


            File
            "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Flask-0.8-py2.7.egg/flask/app.py",
            line /1264/, in |full_dispatch_request|

    rv = self.handle_user_exception(e)

  *


            File
            "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Flask-0.8-py2.7.egg/flask/app.py",
            line /1262/, in |full_dispatch_request|

    rv = self.dispatch_request()

  *


            File
            "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Flask-0.8-py2.7.egg/flask/app.py",
            line /1248/, in |dispatch_request|

    return self.view_functions[rule.endpoint](**req.view_args)

  *


            File "/home/dmitrey/Install/hack2/numready/numready.py",
            line /20/, in |index|

    pypy = read_all_numpy_funcs(sys.executable, 'numpypy')

  *


            File
            "/home/dmitrey/Install/hack2/numready/_numready/process.py",
            line /21/, in |read_all_numpy_funcs|

    assert not err

    AssertionError

Well, it doesn't matter essentially, from the code I just see it parses 
dir(numpypy) and doesn't provide information on the funcs been worked 
on, thus maybe my own efforts to port a func will be just a waste of 
time, because someone other will make it done before me.

So, I've tried today's nightly build;
functions *ravel*, *flatten* and *where*, that are extremely important 
(they occur very often) are unimplemented yet;

Extremely**important function*dot *for matrix multiplication has very 
strange behavior:

 >>>> np.dot(np.ones((2,4)),np.array([1,2,3,4]))
20.0
CPython result:
 >>> np.dot(np.ones((2,4)),np.array([1,2,3,4]))
array([ 10.,  10.])

I haven't tested any further, it already enough to make a sad conclusion 
about current numpypy progress and quality. In either way, I would like 
to have possibility to contribute some funcs, what should I do? Can I 
obtain git edit rights (or you're using something else, like mercury or 
svn?)
Also, I would like to stay tuned or even participate in numpypy 
discussion, but mail list already has high flow wrt JIT backends and 
other info that has no interest to me, I guess reading it is only a 
waste of time for many other PyPy-numpy users. Is it possible to create 
other mail list, e.g. PyPy-Math, for discussion of numpy, scipy ports 
and other related info?
