This was the biggest PyCon ever and probably the biggest +gathering of Python hackers ever. + +From the PyPy perspective, a lot at PyCon was about PyPy. Listing things: + +* David Beazley did an excellent keynote on trying to dive head-first into + PyPy and at least partly failing. He however did not fail to explain + bits and pieces about PyPy's architecture. `Video`_ is available. + +* We gave tons of talks, including the `tutorial`_ and `why pypy by example`_. + +* We had a giant influx of new commiters, easily doubling the amount of pull + requests ever created for PyPy. The main topics for newcomers were numpy and + py3k, disproving what David said about PyPy being too hard to dive into ;) + +* Guido argued in his keynote that Python is not too slow. In the meantime, + we're trying to `prove him correct`_ :-) + +* XXX stuff stuff + +.. _`Video`: xxx +.. _`tutorial`: xxx +.. _`why pypy by example`: xxx +.. _`prove him correct`: http://mrjoes.github.com/2011/12/15/sockjs-bench.html _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list pypy-commit@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
