Hello, I'm a computer science student who intent to work on PyPy for my M.Sc. thesis.
I have been a passionate Python programmer for seven years, and I additionally knows C, C++, Java, Oz, Lisp and Assembler. My academic interests are algorithms, compilers and evolutionary algorithms, and I have completed classes which covers these topics, which means I know what compilers does and why, and the optimizations they can do. I'm pleased that I have been allowed to focus my thesis on PyPy, but I don't yet know what the scope of my thesis will be. At the moment numpy support in PyPy looks interesting, and I have read the blogs/mails regarding this topic. I won't start any actual work on my thesis until the new year, but I hope to spend summer and autumn getting familiar with the project and contributing in any way I can. So far I have only read through the dev docs, and compiled PyPy from source (which took 4.6 hours with cpython and 3.7h with pypy on my laptop). I have been following this list since easter, and I can be found in #pypy on freenode. -- Even Wiik [email protected] _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
