The next PyPy sprint will be held in the Computer Science department of Heinrich-Heine Universitaet Duesseldorf from the 2nd to the 9th of June.
The main focus of the sprint will be on the goals of the upcoming June 0.9 release: * The extension module compiler. The goal is to be able to use a single RPython source code as an extension module for both PyPy and CPython. The means to get there is -- most likely -- by compiling ctypes-based modules into either pypy-c or a CPython dll/so. * Write some more modules in this style with ctypes. * Stackless: the big missing feature is pickling running tasklets. There is also some smaller work that needs to be done, like exposing all the existing RPython-level interfaces to app-level (e.g. greenlets). * Write more documentation. * Misc topics, depending on interests: back-ends (CLI, Squeak), testing framework, modified semantics (security/sandboxing...), etc. If you'd like to come, please subscribe to the `pypy-sprint mailing list`_ and drop a note about your interests and post any questions. More organisational information will be send to that list. We'll keep a list of `people`_ which we'll update (which you can do so yourself if you have codespeak commit rights). .. _`pypy-sprint mailing list`: http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-sprint .. _`people`: http://codespeak.net/pypy/extradoc/sprintinfo/ddorf2006/people.html Cheers, mwh -- Slim Shady is fed up with your shit, and he's going to kill you. -- Eminem, "Public Service Announcement 2000" _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
