We'll also show examples of things +that are possible with PyPy that were impossible to do with Python before, +like real time video processing done in pure python. Our objective with +each of the examples will be to highlight the type of work that is sped up +and why this represents both a boon for existing Python programmers, as well +as an opportunity for Python to expand to new audiences. + +We'll also explain a bit PyPy's current status, its goals and near future. _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
