Hi there, So if I understand the direction of this discussion correctly, it is suggested that to interface PyPy with Cython in a non-hackish way the best strategy might be to modify Cython to generate Python code. This way, there's no need to expose all sorts of PyPy internals on a C API level, and Cython generated code could benefit from the JIT.
This would essentially solve the problem for any code in Cython that didn't talk to any C APIs. But Cython-based code does talk to C APIs, so there is a problem. Python code in PyPy needs to be able to interface with C APIs first in order to generate the right stuff from Cython. ctypes is not considered to be a decent way to integrate PyPy with C APIs. A decent foreign function interface for PyPy would be needed first, or alternatively one that's specifically written for the concerns of Cython. Did I get this right? So what would be required to create a decent FFI this nature? What would make it decent? How could Cython's experience interfacing with C help to design this?
