First, we're very pleased to +report that a number of you guys are happilly running PyPy in production! Most +(97%) of the respondants using PyPy are using it because it's faster, but a +further 26% (respondants could choose multiple answers) are using it because of +lower memory usage. Of users who aren't using PyPy, the most common reason was +C extensions, followed by "Other". + +From reading the extra comments section there are a few things we've learned: + +a) Google docs needs a better UI for this stuff +b) A huge number of people want NumPy and SciPy, it was easily the most + requested C extension. We've already blogged on the topic of `our plans for + NumPy`_. +c) Having packages in the various OS's repositories would be a big help in + getting users up and running. + +A huge thanks to everyone who responded! Finally, if you're using PyPy in +production we'd love to get a testimonial from you, if you're willing to spare +a few minutes to give us a quote or two please get in contact with us via `our +mailing list`_. + +Thanks, +Alex + + +.. _`our plans for NumPy`: http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2011/05/numpy-in-pypy-status-and-roadmap.html +.. _`our mailing list`: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev \ No newline at end of file _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list pypy-commit@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
