Dear PyPy-Dev, I have started porting PyPy implementation of datetime.py to CPython 3.x with a goal of distributing it together with C implementation. The idea is for C and Python modules to share most of the regression test cases and allow platforms that cannot use C modules use python implementation. The benefit for CPython developers is that this will allow rapid prototyping and experimentation with new features. The benefit for CPython users is that they will be able to consult python implementation as ultimately detailed documentation.
Since your project did an admirable job maintaining datetime.py in recent years, your input will be very much appreciated. Please see CPython tracker issue 7989 [1] for details and to leave comments. I already have a patch there which updates PyPy datetime.py to Python 2.7. You should be able to apply it to your tree when you upgrade to 2.7. -- [1] http://bugs.python.org/issue7989 _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
