Right, but since you can write PyPy "C" extensions in RPython, the part you actually get for "free" is that PyPy extensions don't need to be written so as to take concurrency into account. Those bits can be delegated to the "object space", in PyPy terms. _______________________________________________ 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
