I'd also add a task to support embedding PyPy; there are already interesting results http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pypy-dev/2012-March/009661.html -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
