Hi Ghitulete, So are you saying that you don't want to use CPython because it's C, and you want to try C-less alternatives, or at least things that don't use libc? Then look elsewhere. An RPython program (which is definitely something different than a Python program) is translated to C code that uses libc. Changing this would be possible, but certainly not less work than, say, changing CPython to not use the libc. Which, I seem to recall, has been done long ago in an experiment of "booting CPython".
Either way, I'm rather sure that this has nothing to do with seeing how fast Python runs. Using a regular PyPy is more or less the fastest known way to run full pure Python code, so far. If you're rather interested in restricted subsets of Python or other Python-ish languages, then yes, RPython is one of them, and others have been mentioned in this thread. A bientôt, Armin. _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
