You are correct: But the point of this GSOC project is to do the porting, the initial deployment of speed.python.org will be on the 2.x implementation with 3.x to follow as other VMs migrate. > 2.

I think MvL can expand on this as well. > [1]: http://wiki.python.org/moin/SpeedDotPythonDotOrg FYI, I recommend coordinating with Miquel Torres (cc'ed) and Maciej Fijalkowski from PyPy on these questions / this project as well. I am currently coordinating getting the hardware setup for this project's hosting. jesse _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
