I suppose I could use a pure Python driver, but would a JIT'd pure > Python driver be much slower than a native driver? there is a ctypes driver for sqllite and mysql (this last one being used in quora). There is a postgresql driver also but this one is a little harder to get going (it needs to be translated with the pypy interpreter) but there are pure python ones and they might be pretty fast. > In general are there any rules of thumbs regarding PyPy and C extensions - > what works, what doesn't? this question I will leave for amaury to respond. -- Leonardo Santagada _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
