Hi Alexander, The RPython toolchain is meant to be useful essentially for people that want to implement an interpreter for a dynamic language, or that want to hack at PyPy itself. If you're not in either category, you probably only want to use the "pypy" executable, in the same way as you use the "python" executable from CPython.
To answer your first question: the RPython toolchain is not written in RPython, but in normal Python. We only run it once, in order to build the "pypy" executable --- similar to how the "python" executable is built once using a C compiler like gcc. (As the RPython translation is written in normal Python code, it runs with either "python" or a previous version of the "pypy" executable; nowadays we tend to use pypy for that because it is faster, but the result is the same.) (Did this help, or did I miss the point of your questions?... if so, I'm sorry) A bientôt, Armin. _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
