That would be far too big a change. Last time I read anything about PyPy, it was even more head-exploding than metaclasses. > Sorry to jump in like this, but what about the *current* stackless ? > Does it also break all existing C extensions ... ? As far as I know, the current Stackless is some sort of compromise that keeps the current C API but doesn't always work properly (I seem to recall there being some trouble with the way Tkinter uses the C stack, for example). Then there's something around called "greenlets" that was supposed to be some brilliant stroke of genius that solved all these problems, but I haven't heard anything about it since. So currently there seems to be no magic bullet for these problems. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
