[pypy-dev] pypy3.5 / boost

[David Callahan]

Thanks. Did you look into the missing Py_fopen as well?

To answer your question, Facebook has a large python application which leverages an even larger C++ code base which is exposed to python with iva sadly large number of different ways including Boost.  We are interested in using PyPy but need to work through a bunch of these issues to even evaluate.

    David,
    
    since I didn't see a reply, I'm having a stab at it ...
    
    There is patch file for wrapper.cpp:
    
       pypy/module/cpyext/patches/boost.patch
    
    which looks to be what you want, as it modifies the 'offending' code. I've
    not tested it.
    
    And out of curiosity, why boost? cpyext needs to do a mapping of internal
    representations, which can be costly, and boost.python isn't known for
    speed either?
    
    Best regards,
                Wim
