What +we'll do is to finish the RPython part of numpy and provide a pip installable +numpypy repository that includes the pure python part of Numpy. This would +contain the original Numpy with a few minor changes. + +Second, we need to work on the JIT support that will make NumPy on PyPy +faster. In detail: + +* reenable the lazy loop evaluation + +* optimize bridges, which is depending on optimizer refactorings + +* SSE support + +On the compatibility front, there were some independent attempts into +making the following stuff working: + +* f2py + +* C API (in fact, PyArray\_* API is partly present in the nightly builds of + PyPy) + +* matplotlib (both using PyArray\_* API and embedding CPython runtime in PyPy) + +* scipy + +In order to make all of the above happen faster, it would be helpful to raise +more funds. You can donate to `PyPy's NumPy project`_ on our website. Note +that PyPy is a member of SFC which is a 501(c)(3) US non-profit, so donations +from US companies can be tax-deducted. + +Cheers, +fijal, arigo, ronan, rguillebert, anto and others + +.. _`PyPy's NumPy project`: http://pypy.org/numpydonate.html _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
