Hello evryone, I've just launched a project on GitHub called Wrappyr that may be of interest to the PyPy project. It is a collection of tools that can generate Ctypes-based APIs to C and C++ code. As I understand Ctypes is currently the cleanest way to communicate with C libraries in PyPy, so this may help replacing CPython extensions that are needed for more widespread usage of PyPy.
It's available at: https://github.com/ShishKabab/Wrappyr/ It works by: * Using Clang to export data from a C/C++ header file to XML (I tried GCCXML, but it would ignore certain things) * Using that data to: - Generate a C API to C++ code if necessary. - Generate another XML file describing the Python API (which calls should be made where, etc). * And using that XML file to generate Ctypes-based Python code. It is not finished yet and still needs some basic features to make most libraries (like the MySQL C API) useful, but I think it's shaping up nicely. For example, the Hello World example of the Box2D C++ library runs without problems. For more information on what needs to be done, see TODO.rst in the root of the project.
