Hi Jakub! Welcome on board! I will try to co-mentor you a bit during the summer.

To get started with development, you should get a codespeak account. Send a mail to Michael Hudson ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) with your name, the user name you want and your public ssh key. You should agree on using the MIT license for your code, which is what the rest of PyPy uses. Also you should try to follow the coding guide: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/coding-guide.html The Scheme interpreter should probably be put into the pypy/lang/scheme directory. In general you should write test before you start coding using the py.test testing framework: http://codespeak.net/py/dist/test.html You should check in fairly often so that we can see what you're working on and how you are doing and help you if you run into problems. > I am studying javascript interpreter and some parts of pyrolog. > I can see that a lot of work is done by the pypy.rlib.parsing.ebnfparse. > I will focus on that right now.

There are some docs about the parser generator here: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/rlib.html If you have any questions about it you can ask me (on IRC or here), I wrote most of it. It is most certainly not finished, if you run into problems we can think about how to fix it. I guess by default Scheme is not that hard to parse (no clue what happens if macros and other evil things enter the picture).
