...troductions. Note that during the Pycon conference we are giving PyPy talks which serve well as preparation. Goals and topics of the sprint ------------------------------ While attendees of the sprint are of course welcome to work on what they wish, we offer these ideas: - Work on an 'rctypes' module aiming at letting us use a ctypes implementation of an extension module from the compiled pypy-c. - Writing ctypes implementations of modules to be used by the above tool. - Experimenting with different garbage collection strategies. - Implementing Python 2.5 features...

Hi Armin, > The next sprint of PyPy will be held in Dallas, Texas, at the PyCon > conference. Most of you know about the LLVM back-end of PyPy. So > far, > we use mostly the static compilation features of LLVM, How are you using the static compilation features? Are you able to do this via API calls or generating code that will be processed by tools? Thanks, Marcel

...(e.g. zlib is missing) * identify slow areas of PyPy through benchmarking and work on improvements, possibly moving app-level parts of the Python interpreter to interp-level if useful. * there are some parts of PyPy in need of refactoring, we may spend some time on those, for example: - rctypes and the extension compiler need some rethinking - support for LLVM 2.0 for the llvm backend - ... * some JIT improvement work * port the stackless transform to ootypesystem * other interesting stuff that you would like to work on ...;-) ------------ Registration ------------ If you'd...

...on efforts and the current state of PyPy. Goals and topics of the sprint ------------------------------ Possible suggestions for topics are: - Work on gensqueak (our Squeak backend) or possibly other backends. - Implementing Python 2.5 features in PyPy. - Progress further on an 'rctypes' module aiming at letting us use a ctypes implementation of an extension module from the compiled pypy-c. - Writing ctypes implementations of modules to be used by the above tool. - Experimenting and improving performance of our garbage collectors. - Experiment with PyPy...
