I don't see how the program you contributed could be described as "one that got through". Here's what happened - I noticed the n-body program failed with PyPy, I asked you guys about the problem and was told "we have nbody_modified in our benchmarks" and then I asked you guys to contribute your modified program. http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2010/03/introducing-pypy-12-release.html Once you contributed the program modified for PyPy it was displayed on the website within 3 hours. > For example reverse complement (the current version) is > skewed towards CPython.

(Due to pypy's extensions or cpython bugs). PyPy extensions - No. CPython bugs - How strange that the CPython bug was never mentioned! - maybe. > Since programs that only compile on GCC clearly are. How many C language implementations are shown? How many Python language implementations are shown? If only one Python language implementation was shown do you think it would be PyPy ? _______________________________________________ pypy-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
