(Apologies if - this is not the appropriate venue for this question, but I don't see any other pypy lists, and I'm finding the other docs a bit inscrutable.
- I sound too inexperienced or unpythonic: I've spent most of my coding life in java and perl. ) Please advise how to configure pypy to run other python code. Why I ask: I've started running a model implemented in python. Unfortunately a run on "normal" python 2.6.x or 2.7.x requires - 130 min on my ubuntu laptop (on which working would be more convenient) - 55 min on the best build machine to which I currently have access However I have read that this model runs 5x faster under pypy, so I wanna get me that! Unfortunately my current ubuntu me@it:~$ lsb_release -ds > Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS # yes, I am planning to upgrade Real Soon Now me@it:~$ uname -rv > 2.6.32-33-generic #70-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jul 7 21:13:52 UTC 2011 is too down-level to install the available pypy RPM, so I instead did URI="https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/downloads/pypy-1.5-linux64.tar.bz2" TMP_DIR_ROOT="/tmp/pypy" for CMD in \ "rm -fr ${TMP_DIR_ROOT}" \ "mkdir -p ${TMP_DIR_ROOT}" \ "pushd ${TMP_DIR_ROOT}" \ "wget -O - ${URI} | tar xvjf -" \ "ls -alh" \ "popd" \ ; do echo -e "${CMD}" eval "${CMD}" done # check path names, then TMP_DIR_ROOT="/tmp/pypy/pypy-c-jit-43780-b590cf6de419-linux64" TARGET_DIR_ROOT="/opt/pypy-c-jit-1.5.0-alpha0" TARGET_PYPY_EXEC="${TARGET_DIR_ROOT}/bin/pypy" USR_PYPY_EXEC="/usr/local/bin/pypy" for CMD in \ "sudo mkdir -p ${TARGET_DIR_ROOT}" \ "sudo cp -r ${TMP_DIR_ROOT}/* ${TARGET_DIR_ROOT}/" \ "sudo chmod 755 ${TARGET_DIR_ROOT}/" \ "sudo chmod 755 ${TARGET_DIR_ROOT}/bin/" \ "sudo chmod 755 ${TARGET_PYPY_EXEC}" \ "sudo ls -al ${TARGET_PYPY_EXEC}" \ "sudo ln -s ${TARGET_PYPY_EXEC} ${USR_PYPY_EXEC}" \ "sudo ls -al ${USR_PYPY_EXEC}" \ "${USR_PYPY_EXEC} --version" \ "which pypy" \ "pypy --version" \ ; do echo -e "${CMD}" eval "${CMD}" done The good news is, I can now me@it:~$ ls -al $(which pypy) > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 2011-07-30 16:06 /usr/local/bin/pypy -> > /opt/pypy-c-jit-1.5.0-alpha0/bin/pypy me@it:~$ pypy --version > Python 2.7.1 (b590cf6de419, Apr 30 2011, 02:00:34) > [PyPy 1.5.0-alpha0 with GCC 4.4.3] But when I try to actually *run* the @#$%^&! thing, it spews: me@it:~$ pypy > debug: WARNING: library path not found, using compiled-in sys.path and > sys.prefix will be unset > 'import site' failed > Python 2.7.1 (b590cf6de419, Apr 30 2011, 02:00:34) > [PyPy 1.5.0-alpha0 with GCC 4.4.3] on linux2 > Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. > debug: OperationError: > debug: operror-type: ImportError > debug: operror-value: No module named _pypy_interact me@it:~$ pypy -c 'import sys; print sys.path' > debug: WARNING: library path not found, using compiled-in sys.path and > sys.prefix will be unset > 'import site' failed > ['', '/home/buildslave/bot64/pypy-c-jit-linux-x86-64/build/lib_pypy', > '/home/buildslave/bot64/pypy-c-jit-linux-x86-64/build/lib-python/modified-2.7', > '/home/buildslave/bot64/pypy-c-jit-linux-x86-64/build/lib-python/2.7', > '/home/buildslave/bot64/pypy-c-jit-linux-x86-64/build/lib-python/modified-2.7/lib-tk', > > '/home/buildslave/bot64/pypy-c-jit-linux-x86-64/build/lib-python/2.7/lib-tk', > '/home/buildslave/bot64/pypy-c-jit-linux-x86-64/build/lib-python/2.7/plat-linux2'] What do I need to do to fix its library path? Is this where translation is required? (Again, please note that I *have read* http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/getting-started-python.html but I'm finding difficulty understanding what one must do to *use* pypy, vs what one must do to *hack* pypy, which is not my usecase.)
