Hi Michal, I'm afraid I'm only a pypy observer, so I can't help with your specific queries. However, I want to say that I'm cheering for your effort to get the JVM backend up and running again! I tried to look at it a little a few months ago, but couldn't quite get it to translate for me (not sure why, but I ran out of time to play with it). Someday I'd like to see Jython integrate with PyPy somehow, but I'm fuzzy on the how :) Anyway though I don't know what was suggested with respect to JPype I'd like suggest a look at another Java integration point. JDK 7 was recently released and it contains invokedynamic, which would be likely to be a great help with some sorts of Java integration. Here are some relevant links: http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=292 http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/invoke/package-summary.html http://openjdk.java.net/projects/mlvm/ https://wikis.oracle.com/display/mlvm/Home Again, I don't know the details about how JPype would be used exactly, I just wanted to make sure you knew about invokedynamic. -Frank Wierzbicki _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
