Hi! Last year, I have been working on making matplotlib compatible with PyPy here:
https://github.com/shmuller/matplotlib.git I succeeded to get the svg and pdf backends working, but then had to drop the ball. My changes involve mostly the C++ parts in src, in particular replacing some PyCXX (which didn't work with PyPy) with the plain Python C API. I also needed some minor fixes in .py files. I understand that it is desirable to remove the PyCXX layer altogether from matplotlib, and I have come a good deal along this route. I would also be happy to continue working in this direction. I have a bit of time now, and so I merged my branch with upstream/master. The few conflicts were easy to resolve. However, then I tried to run the test suites (python tests.py), both on the current master and my branch, to see if I broke anything. Unfortunately, the test suites randomly segfault on my computer (Macbook Air 2011), at the latest when I try to run them 10 times in a row. Not only on my branch, but also on upstream/master. I ran the Apple Hardware Test, which didn't report any issues, so my Mac seems to be fine. I went back to the state of my branch before merging, which i have been using in production for a year now without any issues, and noticed that even there the test suite segfaulted if I try to run it 10 times in a loop. I haven't noticed this before (and didn't have any issues in production use of matplotlib for a year). The crashes occur randomly and not always at one specific test. - Did anyone have this issue before? - Could someone pull my branch and run the test suite on a different computer, so that I can exclude that my hardware is at fault after all? - Could someone please guide me to get my work pulled into the main repository?
