I've been having a hard time trying to understand PyPy's translation. It looks like something absolutely revolutionary from simply reading the description, however I'm hard-pressed to find good documentation on actually translating a real world piece of code to something such as LLVM. Does such a thing exist? The official PyPy documen...
From what I have seen and read on the blogs PyPy is a very ambitious project. What are some advantages it will bring to the table over its siblings (CPython, Jython, and IronPython)? Is it speed, cross-platform compatibility (including mobile platforms), the ability to use c-extensions without the GIL, or is this more of a technical exer...
Except for CPython, which other Python implementations are currently usable for production systems? The questions What are the pros and cons of the various Python implementations? I have been trying to wrap my head around the PyPy project. So, fast-foward 5-10 years in the future what will PyPy have to offer over CPython, Jython, and...
Hello, I have been programming in Python for a few years now and have always used CPython without thinking about it. The books and documentation I have read always refer to CPython too. When does it make sense to use an alternative distribution (PyPy, Stackless, etc)? Thanks! ...
It looks like pypy's JIT won't compile by default in 64-bit Linux. How do I cross-compile a 32-bit JITting pypy on that machine? ...
pypy has many built-in function use python implementation.example:link but,i can't find model 'sys' implementation. how can i get it. import sys print help(sys) ...
Note: The title is provocating (to make you click on it and want to close-vote the question) and I don't want to look preoccupated. Since some time now I read and heard more and more about PyPy. It's like a linear graph. Why is PyPy so special? As far as I know implementations of dynamic languages written in the languages itself aren'...
We're using Twisted extensively for apps requiring a great deal of asynchronous io. There are some cases where stuff is cpu bound instead and for that we spawn a pool of processes to do the work and have a system for managing these across multiple servers as well - all done in Twisted. Works great. The problem is that it's hard to bring...
